One thing I've found to be a problem with modularity is that it's easy to be un- or misinformed. I spent a lot of time reading the docs (and I'm glad there are docs, I'm not criticizing the docs) and I still found it difficult to modularize my rpick package. My experiences as a packager for the other distributions I've worked with that offer parallel installability (which necessarily means parallel availability) was that I didn't need to know very much to do it. It was generally obvious what to do to make my package use slots, for example. I think the problem is that modularity is complicated enough that it's hard to know it well without investment. Could we think of a solution that is simple so that packagers can more easily understand how it works? Or better, can we employ a solution that another distribution has developed?
