Maybe, but it will cause the removal of other packages that depend on
their regular (non-modular) builds. You are forcing the hands of their
maintainers before the infrastructure to make modular packages available
as build dependencies to regular packages is in place to remake their
packages into modules, let them be retired or pick up your orphans. If
it were ready, your moving these packages to modules would be a
non-event for everyone concerned except you. Instead of helping with
that (or just waiting), you are about to cause the retirement of quite a
few packages whose maintainers want nothing to do with Modularity.
That's not excellent.
I am not forcing anyone to do anything. If I followed your thinking
then I colud say that by not adopting orphaned packages you are
forcing others to do the same things you accuse me of forcing people
to.
