Yup, it is certainly not perfect and we'll have to work through those kinds of issues carefully as Stephen & others are doing. I am very confident in trusting Fedora developers to make sensible choices for our users, though - including whether we should make packages module-only. As package maintainers we all make technical decisions which have significant impact on our users every day - whether that's in the choice of defaults, choice of build flags, or whatever. Honestly delivering as modules-vs-non-modules is a completely trivial issue compared to most of the stuff I spend time on. If "yum install X" still works most people just don't care about the RPM/dnf/repo mechanics behind that. If you don't want to ship any of your packages as modules I think that's great and you should continue doing that. On the other hand, I want to move a bunch of my packages to module-only because I think I can do a better job serving Fedora users that way.
