There are two likely possible scenarios. Which one happens depends
mostly on whether a service like "ursa-major" [1] (or equivalent) is
implemented by release engineering.

1. Without ursa-major:
- orphaned packages won't be auto-retired by releng as too many things
still build-depend on them
- non-modular packages will rot without maintenance, with
provenpackagers occasionally fixing most serious issues
- buildroots and user systems will see different package sets (users
will get maintained packages from modules, buildroots will keep using
old, unmaintained packages)
- users will have to disable modular repos in order to be able to
install old non-modular packages that are used in buildroots

2. With ursa-major:
- packages will be retired by myself
- there will be only one package set - modular
- buildroots will use the same package sets as available to users
- users will be able to install build-dependencies from modular repos
enabled in the system by default
- module-unaware software (such as mock) will be able to use koji repos
(or new kind of buildroot compose) to install packages from
