These are good questions, but I feel like there has been about 2+ years of discussion and debate about what Fedora could get out of modularity. I'm not sure I have anything to offer that is directly new or better. I do think that ELN presents a new opportunity for those that have already found value in the Fedora community to use and improve it there in the absence of widespread Fedora adoption. Perhaps that would allow a place for the ideas to grow and could prove to be illustrative. At any rate, my goal isn't to evangelize or convert Fedora to suddenly embrace modularity wholescale. I am simply offering clarity on the plans for RHEL 9 with this technology. josh _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
