Re: Proposal: Dropping modules from EPEL-8. Not adding modules to EPEL-9

I am curios - Is there any benefit of the proposal for end users? I think that end users are the most important part of the chain - be honest they are only reason why developers exist.

Somehow I feel that we are going to resolve infrastructure problem (missing feature, support for maintainers, stability, ...) but the bill will be paid (they will experience problem, breaking changes, change in delivery chain) by our users.

We have to consider that they are not participating on such a discussion, the cannot vote FESCO and so on. They did not decide to ship modules in EPEL and probably they adopted them because they use the content of EPEL. We have to also consider that they can have their own content for modules. If we will remove modules in the middle of the release cycle they will suffer for to reasons. It can create some issues and simply it is unexpected change. We will lose their trust and may be they will move to another Linux distribution. I want to say that the proposal sound like a win for maintainers (in short term), but in long term FEDORA and RHEL will lose a lot.
