Hi,

I'm considering dropping some packages from sway:rolling modulemd
definition, however I don't clearly understand what would be the
resulting upgrade behavior.

Let's assume that the module is already enabled and all the packages are
installed in the user's system. Also, the module was containing the same
set of packages during f32 release (i.e. in fedora-modular).

In an optimistic case I'd like to believe that once the package is
removed from the modulemd file and a new module update is published, the
override magic hacked into dnf would stop masking package from
non-modular repository. NEVRA would be the only factor deciding the
update priority and when we push new build of the package into
f32-updates it would update the remaining modular build of the package
with lower EVR.

In a pessimistic case I expect that the package removed from the module
will never be updated by dnf in the same release cycle since the already
installed version originates from the modular repository. Upgrade to f33
would require module reset.

I have zero knowledge on the modularity implementation so I would
appreciate if anyone could clarify which behavior is more likely to
happen before we start experimenting on real users :)
