And I think you are absolutely wrong, for the reasons I have already stated 
in:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/LODBTWKZAKR2XPW2AAVVGFKYQH24FLKF/

I shall also point out that there is no difference between module-level 
conflicts and package-level conflicts there: both can be "solved" by 
containerizing the conflicting modules. But this is a very heavy workaround 
for a conflict that is really the distribution's job to avoid. (I would even 
argue that this is even the whole purpose of a distribution, as opposed to 
just downloading random software directly from random sources.)
