That is purely a RHEL thing though. I do not see how this is relevant to the
discussion on whether to allow default streams *in Fedora*.
Even then, as a RHEL subscriber, I'd question its usefulness there. I use RHEL
at work because I want a solid stable system without many changes in a release
cycle. It makes is much easier with large deployments and high numbers of
administrators/users, who may be resistant to change. Throwing a random new
version of a package on there sounds like a nightmare.
Actually, I'm not even sure how I'd deploy modules in the environment that I
support, because it doesn't have internet access. I usually just download the
RHEL repo DVD and I'm good to go.
