I'm not involved in modularity, and I'm speaking as an observer. But
it seems that it would be a lot more effective to put the libraries in
containers, and keep applications in rpms.
That is, say there is a python container, and it contains the various
formats of python, 2.6, 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, etc. Then any application that
needs python just specifies the python it needs, and the OS links it
with the proper library from the container when it runs.
We would need to develop a dedicated, non-trivial tooling to enable this functionality. And honestly, I can't even imagine how this could be even possible to implement for all ecosystems (compiled languages, interpreted languages).
