I know this probably won't change anything because this was mentioned
many times (by me at least) and nothing has changed but still...
Currently, modules are essentially yum sub-repos, they are not really
"modules", instead they are collections of rpms that reinvent rpm-like
relations (obsoletes, requires, build-requires, etc.).
There is no reason for this wheel-reintervention. Modules (the
collections) can be simply squashed into an rpm by automation and this
resulting rpm can go to the modular repo together with other modules.
That way we don't have two types of objects we complex inter-relations
but only one we well-known behavior.
I wonder if this is clear to everyone but nobody really cares or
doesn't really want to say it or I don't know.
Is this clear to everyone? I mean either I am stating an obvious stuff
that nobody really considers worth typing or idk.
How would this work when there are optional rpms in the module?
You do not need to install every rpm in eg the php module (different graphics/database backends) for that module to be useful, but every version of the module will have the rpm as an option which wont work outside a module of multiple rpms.
