So Modular is obviously an implementation detail in order to achieve a specific
solution, but what is the problem the modular initiative is trying to solve?
Some name that refers to that could work I think.
Right, so the modular approach is an attempt to deal with the "Too Fast/Too
Slow" problem in Fedora. (Essentially, that everyone wants the libraries on the
system to be static and unchanging... except their pet library/framework that
absolutely has to be the latest available version.)
That's why I suggested "Adaptive"... the design of Server lends itself to
adapting to your needs without forcing you to go into uncharted
build-it-yourself territory.
