When `--connection` argument is not specified, Ansible will use the 'smart' mode, which can either use `ssh` or `paramiko` transports, depending of the version of OpenSSH available. If OpenSSH version is new enough to support ControlPersist technology, `ssh` will be used. See also http://docs.ansible.com/intro_configuration.html#transport. In order to support some advanced features of Vagrant (e.g. multiple ssh private key identities or ssh forwarding), the Ansible provisioner already must force `ssh` connection mode. Having to deal with the possible fallback to `paramiko` increase the burden of special cases that Ansible provisioner must handle, without any added value, as Vagrant is based on OpenSSH and its users are usually using modern operating systems. With this change, the Ansible provisioner will officially only support `ssh`. It will still be possible to switch to another connection mode via `raw_arguments`, but it will breach the "contract", and no (community) support can be expected in such use case. ref #3900, #3396 |

Vagrant Core Plugins
These are plugins that ship with Vagrant. Vagrant core uses its own plugin system to power a lot of the core pieces that ship with Vagrant. Each plugin will have its own README which explains its specific role.
