Well, a short tl;dr; would certainly help, as I must admit that even after 2+ years of discussion I see very little incentive to modularize any of my packages. I see benefits of modularity for CentOS/RHEL, but not so clearly for Fedora (except for more special cases like sway, where we have the quickly evolving wlroots library and can thus deliver an up to date sway even for older Fedora releases). > I'm not sure I have anything to offer that is directly > new or better.
