That stream package would have to be registered as an optional member of
@build-srpm group and because the package is specific to a stream, the package
would have to be kept away from nonmodular build tag. Packagers would probaly
tag the stream package into their side tags dedicated for their streams.

To enforce reprodusibility and auditability, Koji to has a rule that all input
is first commited into dist-git and then a Koji task loads it from there and
a packager has no way to influence it. A module-build task in Koji would have
to be changed to implement a logic for handling the YAML templates. With MBS
it was MBS service which implemented the logic and then imported the output as
a module build into Koji.

The same goes for the stream package. I have no idea how MBS builds
module-build-macros in Koji. A task info reads "Src: cli-build/....src.rpm".
Probably a privileged operation which does not involve dist-git.

Or modify createrepo_c to export the modularitylabel into primary.xml. The
YAML files, if ever needed, would be synthesized by DNF.

My largest problem with this approach is a manual management of the tags on
the modular builds. Koji does not have a way how to be asked for all builds
belonging to a stream. MBS worked around it by using ephemeral tags for
building each stream and then maintaining a registry of these tags and their
builds for a later use (e.g. for updating the stream).

I worry that even this user-side-only modularity is unwelcome
