Due to technical limitations with package-management software, it was not available for non-Server deployments of Fedora. Beginning with Fedora 29, all installations of Fedora will have modules available for installation and update. This will be done by merging the `fedora-repos-modular` sub-package back into the `fedora-repos` package. >> >> To be clear, this is only about merging the .repo file back into the >> package.

Do we ever foresee the hybrid repository approach happening in Fedora? > It also carries with it the implication that the supported package managers must handle module updates correctly. (It does *not* require that they all be able to handle selecting/switching module streams, but it must honor whichever stream was set via DNF). A good clarification.
