Do we have policy around that?

One reason one might want a module anyway is for the (future) EPEL case.
Right now, EPEL has two problems:

1. As a maintainer, I don't necessarily want to commit to a 10+ package
   lifetime, and probably do not want to commit to RHEL-like backports.
2. Some people do though. So, as a user, it's unclear with the update
   policies and lifecycle for any given package.


Theeeeoretically, modules should solve this, because I can declare "I'm
building this for EPEL, but the lifecycle will be the same as in Fedora".
(Or, for packages which have a 'slow' stream: "I'm planning on maintaining
this version for three years in EPEL, and, hey, might as well also make that
available on Fedora releases too.)
