The one thing we are using default modular stream in RHEL 8 for is to

able to provide access to packages in kickstart that were moved to

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.
But Miro's proposal is to keep the default version non-modular, which means
the kickstart compatibility issue does not come up to begin with. (Non-
modular packages are naturally available for kickstart.)
