Before things are rolled out further, I'd like to see some
policies
agreed upon for what modularity is and isn't allowed for in Fedora:
what are the rules for default streams, buildroot only modules,
modularizing non-leaf packages, etc.
So, to start that discussion, I think all 3 of those should be no gos in
Fedora. In other words, I propose the following rules:
* no default streams, use "ursine" (non-modular) packages for the default
versions instead (you may ALSO ship the same version as a module, if that
makes it easier for you, i.e., if it means you don't have to retire and
unretire module versions at every release, but the "ursine" version must
exist),
* no buildroot-only modules nor buildroot-only packages in modules,
everything used to build packages must be shipped along with them,
* no non-leaf modules, since those unavoidably lead to version hell due to
the non-parallel-installability of different versions of the same module.
