For module maintainers, module users, and flatpak maintainers:

Fedora infrustructure has long-standing problems with supporting modules.

Namely, MBS is unable to build modules with deep dependencies
<https://pagure.io/fm-orchestrator/issue/1759> and Bodhi is unable to accept
multicontext modules <https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/issues/4198>.

This results into inability to support affected modules. E.g. it's impossible
to build perl-CGI:5.54 for Fedora 39, and it's impossible to update
perl-Date-Manip:6.86 in stable Fedoras.

Because nobody has tried to tackle these infrastructure deficiencies, module
maintainers have hard times to support the modules, and as a result users can
expect dropping of numerous modules from Fedora. If there remain no modules,
Fedora project might consider removing Modularity from Fedora infrastructure.

That could also affect seemingly unrelated parts of Fedora like Flatpaks
whose build process is based on modularity.
