What was never discussed was whether modules are something worth rebuilding 
"an entirely new infrastructure" to begin with. I disagree that they are 
even a desirable feature to begin with, they just fragment and thus dilute 
the Fedora platform, and have the potential to seriously hurt integration 
across the distribution and increase code duplication and its resulting 
bloat.
