I couldn't agree more, Koji's a pretty nice project to work on.
It might seems scary for newcomers because of all the ingrained knowledge and assumptions, but once you get close the community is nice and friendly :).

Thanks for doing that, though I don't know that it would resolve my challenges.
First, I'd like to point out that by now I've basically solved the problems for Bodhi and know how to deal with this change.
The main reason I wanted to send this email is because in things like fedmsg's and other things, the NVRs as imported by Koji still leak out.
Even if the identifiers are colon-separated in all places and the N-S-V encoded version is never exported out of koji, people will still need to update scripts and tooling, and bringing that to people's attention was my main reason for sending the email.

I absolutely did not mean for my email to be judgemental, as I've not been privy to the decision to allow dashes in multiple fields or the rest, so I can't really judge the reasoning or the conclusion.
If it came over as judging, I'm sorry, I really just wanted to give people a headsup so that they have some upfront time to update scripts before seeing eithe module identifiers in fedmsg's or any other place.

It would not, but that's okay.
It would still mean that Module identifiers, whether you notice them as N-S-V.C or N:S:V:C, are new, and all tooling and scripts will need to be updated to handle those new identifiers.

I've read some parts of this thread and I see people are kind of saying "we have to update all the tooling". I really don't think there is tooling which needs to be updated *just* because of the delimiter.

If something does not support modules and it should support modules and *needs* to work with Koji content-generator imported builds for some reason, it needs to updated to support modules and as part of this update, it can be told to use ':' as its output.

If something does support modules already, it needs to be updated to support "context" field anyway and as part of this update ... ^

Note that this is just about the "module" type koji builds imported to Koji by MBS once the module is built. I think that t if you have no idea that those builds exist, you have nothing to update in your tool.

What is impacted by this is:
- Bodhi - which is easy to update and I've sent a PR which has been continued on by Patrick and is merged now.
- Pungi - this supports ":" already.
- MBS, pdc-updater - supports ":" already.

Is there actually anything else?
