These are packages that move from the main Fedora distribution into
the addon "fedora-modular" repo that is enabled by default on Fedora
systems.

There are a couple of consequences of this:

* They are no longer available for regular packages to use as build dependencies
* Only DNF (the CLI tool) can manage them. PackageKit and dnfdragora
can't do anything with them yet.
