A couple of days ago, Mikolaj Izdebski announced on this mailing list, in a thread entitled "Orphaned some Java packages" that 259 packages are being converted into modules. So none of those are used as build dependencies? I can tell you for sure that one of them SHOULD be used as a build dependency: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1599015 What should happen is that coq has antlr4 as a build dependency, uses it to generate some python code, then depends on the antlr4 python3 runtime. Since that isn't possible at the moment, I've been forced into the stupid, wrong workaround of (a) using upstream's generated python code, since our antlr4 package is incapable of regenerating it, and (b) bundling the antlr4 python3 runtime with coq, since it is not available from Fedora in any package. Now what is going to happen? If antlr4 becomes a module, how will this situation be resolved? I am very concerned that the coq situation is going from bad to worse.
