What is a "module-only" package?
These are packages that move from the main Fedora distribution into
the addon "fedora-modular" repo that is enabled by default on Fedora
systems.
There are a couple of consequences of this:
* They are no longer available for regular packages to use as build dependencies
* Only DNF (the CLI tool) can manage them. PackageKit and dnfdragora
can't do anything with them yet.
I don't think that second consequence is entirely true.
As I understand the the default module stream remains available
in the main repo and hence would be installable with things that
don't understand modules. There would be no ability to switch to
an alternate stream with other tools though.
