It's not just that the documentaiton is daunting. The _steps_ are daunting. It's not an easy process even for simple cases.

I think having this live in a different repo in a whole different dist-git namespace is a barrier. I'm not sure how to make this easier, but it definitely multiplies the confusion and complexity for me. In retrospect, I'd rather have a module definition file live in some "main" package for each module.
And I also think we're missing a lot of the automation that came as requirements out of the "Prototype Phase". https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives/Fedora_Modularization,_Prototype_P...
