And the really fun thing is that once the different versions are
installable in parallel you could just.... have them in different
packages.  So SCLs aren't really an improvement over plain old packages,
either.

So it seems to me that modules are useful specifically in the "not
parallel installable" case; they seem to be to simply be a framework for
handling sets of mutually exclusive packages (and the combinatorial
dependency explosion which results).  Which I guess is reasonable,
though I always thought they would be the last resort when
you can't make two versions able to be installed in parallel.  Instead
it seems like they're being pushed as the default, which just seems
backwards to me.
