It could be possible even in dist-f15.

No, I won't plan changing vendorlib/vendorarch now. I still believe that
moving all modules into privlib can't broke anything, because
vendorarch/vendorlib isn't needed in distribution, but I'd like
to have this directories here reserved for 3rd party RPMs. 

I'd like to hear your ideas about this.

Rebuild of modules should solve problem of packages, which can't
resolve their dependency, because of the change of vendorarch/vendorlib.
Pure rebuild without changing anything vital should fix it.
