So one module could have two packages. One with "mature" UI changes. One with "controversial" edge UI to be tested. The edge package is to be installed by default. Still the user would have the possibility to get it replaced by the other one. This is basically making sure that we can downgrade/upgrade between two module releases, which is basically not insured for a module from two GNOME releases.
