Let me make this clear: I have a technical opinion (default modular
streams are the wrong thing to do). If we are not considering that
opinion, because it insults the people who have implemented the
technical thing, we are making it personal.
The one thing we are using default
modular stream in RHEL 8 for is to be
able to provide access to packages in kickstart that were moved to
modules in RHEL 8. An example is idm:client stream which is a default
module stream in RHEL 8 exactly for this reason, to be able to install
ipa-client package and enroll a system into IPA from a kickstart file.
We don't package FreeIPA in modules in Fedora yet but this is one of
real examples how default module streams are helpful to maintain
coherent user experience for existing users of kickstart files.
