This sounds like a bug in Modularity. > If each of the Perls is a stream of a module, you will put Bugzilla into > a module and let it depend on any of the Perls.

That's not a policy issue, nor an issue with traditional, non-modular, packages. > With your proposal Bugzilla packager would have to package Bugzilla > twice: as a normal package for default Perl 5.26 and as a module for Perl > 5.30.

I don't believe that's the case. The packager would choose how they want to handle it, most likely just not bothering with modules. The user would just `dnf install bugzilla`, and use the version that is packaged as a non-modular package. -- John M.
