I find the global exclusion of packages built but not shipped in an

Beyond the horrible UX above, this seems so counter to the idea that
we
are building a platform upon which others can build and extend. In this
case I can simply disable the rhn-tools module, but what if I wanted
something else from that module?
Indeed, this is absolutely unacceptable.
Hopefully the UX is better in Fedora (I haven't tested), but I
believe the
exclusion property remains.
As far as I know, Fedora has exactly the same broken implementation.
For Fedora, this issue is quite easy to fix though: modules in Fedora should
not be allowed to build but not ship packages to begin with!
