Extension suggests replacements of modules with internal implentation names

Sanity check

• I certify that the redhat.ansible extension is in use and the language of the document in this bug report shows up as Ansible

Summary

Here’s my main.yaml

- name: Clone/Update Guard git repo
  ansible.builtin.git:
    repo: 'https://github.com/thedevs-network/the-guard-bot.git'
    dest: /opt/the-guard-bot
    update: true

- name: Install npm
  community.general.pacman:
    name: npm
    state: present

- name: Install packages based on package.json.
  community.general.npm:
    path: /opt/the-guard-bot

running ansible-lint against it I get the following

% ansible-lint main.yaml                                                         
WARNING  Listing 1 violation(s) that are fatal
git-latest: Git checkouts must contain explicit version.
main.yaml:8 Task/Handler: Clone/Update Guard git repo

You can skip specific rules or tags by adding them to your configuration file:
# .config/ansible-lint.yml
warn_list:  # or 'skip_list' to silence them completely
  - git-latest  # Git checkouts must contain explicit version.

Finished with 1 failure(s), 0 warning(s) on 1 files.

That is fine.

However, in VSC, if I hover over community.general.pacman or community.general.npm, I get suggestions to replace them.

Use community.general.packaging.os.pacman instead.
Use community.general.packaging.language.npm instead.

The only place where I can find these mentioned is https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/main/meta/runtime.yml#L1102

After talking with one of the community.general contributors on Matrix, it seems like it shouldn’t be a thing and is a bug

felixfontein:
  actually doing that replacement would be a REALLY BAD idea.
  community.general.packaging.os.pacman is an implementation detail that can change even in a bugfix release and leave you with something that isn't working
  you should definitely file a bug report for the plugin

@priyamsahoo by not treating this as a bug you are risking that your uses will suffer a lot when they have to undo all these suggestions.
