If you have both repositories always enabled, why do you need two repositories? If you don't have them always enabled, off you go hunting. If we believe modularity to be a technology that we can really leverage and start making a fundamental piece of how Fedora is built and offered, why would we want to segregate modules to their own repository? What does it buy you? How do those advantages outweigh the perception that modules are different and scary and need to be separated from the rest of what is Fedora? FWIW, I'm not insisting we have a hybrid approach. However, I think over time it's actually going to cause more problems for Fedora and other producers and consumers of modules if they remain separated. josh _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/6YC5A4IH5FNZTNJ5Z2MO3FBRSR6ZZJBS/
