-- import_playbook: setup.yml
+# the setup.yml playbook is excluded from this list for the following reasons:
+# 1. setup.yml playbook requires either already deployed ssh key or
+#    --ask-pass argument to interactively distribute a new key, which may
+#    be a redundant effort if you already secured passwordless login
+# 2. Also, the setup.yml playbook is not mandatory and can be replaced with
+#    manual or semi-manual steps with ssh-copy-id command or other
+# 3. playbooks here are more or less batch jobs and the ssh authentication
+#    is a precondition, which should be done during configuration of the
+#    installer
