from the paragraph you quoted that containers are the recommended
solution for doing "parallel-install" with modules. Also, the
relationship goes both ways; Modules provide a trusted source of
software to run in containers (as opposed to running an image that
someone uploaded to a public registry).
Well, containers are currently the only "supported" way to have parallel
installation of any Fedora packages. In essence, we don't have a solution for
parallel installation at all. If Modules are supposed to go with containers,
why not tack them onto Silverblue instead of the main distro? From what I've
read, it seems they would fit that usecase much better than a traditional
distribution, and we wouldn't need to address the issues that come from
modules overriding non-modular packages.
