It seems to me that it does the exact opposite - instead of having
one version of each package to maintain I now have multiple versions
to worry about! I mean obviously I could convert to a module and
only maintain one version but what would be the point?
Converting to module does not mean maintaining one version. It means
that you have to maintain the one version on multiple versions of
Fedora, where previously this was not needed.
E.g. if there is new OpenSSL in Rawhide and Ruby needs to be modified
somehow, then the modification has to be compatible with older Fedoras,
whereas previously you would do that change just for Rawhide.
TBH, keeping modules alive is much harder then it was without modules.
Not even mentioning the possibility of having multiple versions ...
And yet somehow, somebody considers that easier.
I still try to understand that and I always fail.
