I'm not trying to do anything myself, just pointing out that I believe
modularity is broken by design because it leads to the need to have
mutually incompatible versions of things installed at the same place
at the same time. SCL was one concept that nicely avoided this problem,
by giving users the ability to have multiple versions of a stream
installed in parallel.

Flatpaks and containers are alternative ways to let users deploy 
different versions of software without any clashing with the default
package set provided by the distro.

Regards,
Daniel
