Some modules are built in MBS/Koji but are never released to users.
Currently such modules can only be used as build dependencies of other
modules.  In future, if solution like "ursa-major" [1] is implemented,
such modules could also be used as build dependencies for non-modular
packages.

An example of buildroot-only module is javapackages-tools.  This
module is used as build dependency for 4 modules, but it is not
included in any compose and it's not shipped to users.

Should such modules be considered as allowed in Fedora?  I am not
aware of any policy that would disallow them, but I would rather ask
in advance and not be surprised if one day I find out that I have to
ship such modules to users and support them.

This sounds absolutely fine to me.
