I do, especially since this conflicts with the regular "fedora-release" and
calls itself "Fedora modular release".

I firmly believe it should be clear for Fedora branding so that downstream
consumers of Fedora have a clear direction on what packages they need to
replace, even when making their own "modular" distributions.

Please rename this package. If you want to also produce a "generic" version for
people to use as a template for downstream use (which would be greatly
appreciated), that would be excellent too.
