Really, but saying "some" is not what was is happening now.

I read through that email thread and the document, but I was not really more clever from that. Just out of curiosity I started reading through the list of packaged that I would have to take to build my package and that is more than I am really able to handle. And especially when you are working on better way to package it in modules, it feels like waste of resources and time. I would appreciate if there would be a way to build normal packages against modules (somehow?), but if using modules has only advantages, I would be very interested to do that too with my Java package. But as already said by more people around, we really do not know how and we do not have so much spare time to figure all of the details.
