Hi all,
We originally introduced the sway module to have an up-to-date version
of sway even in older releases. This is no longer necessary, as all
stable releases have a reasonable new version of sway.
In my opinion, we can just get rid of the module, especially given that
modularized packages are still uncommon in Fedora. Do you still have a
use for the module?
Last time we brought up this topic I actually asked on devel[1] and
found out that it's quite hard to get rid of the module. With a certain
series of hacks we can do that for rawhide. Nothing can be done for f33
since stable repository already has a copy of module metadata with all
the packages included.
Also I recall that there were multiple users interested in 1.5 module
update on reddit/irc. That's the reason I didn't stop halfway despite
the whole set of infra issues.

I can assume full responsibility for the module and handle rebuilds on
rawhide package changes.
I was also planning to bug modularity team until we can remove
everything except sway and wlroots from the module without breaking
upgrade paths. I'd really like to achieve that by f34 stabilization
timeframe since it'll simplify maintenance of the module.
