While I understand that it's more exciting to work on the "new shiny project" (Modularity), the basis we all want to build upon (traditional RPM packages in the "normal" repos, in this case) cannot be allowed to rot, or we all stand on shaky ground. For example, the Stewardship SIG recently took ownership of around 200 orphaned, now mostly module-only packages - some of which have a dependency tree larger than 2000 (!) binary packages. TL;DR: I don't think pulling the rug out under a significant portion of the fedora package set (and maintainers) is a good idea, until we're sure that there's solid ground under our feet.
