That's partly answered in the very next paragraph: Among other things, we're going to see whether we can get away without introducing a distinct "module mode" as we have in the current prototype (which is incompatible, in some narrow yet deep ways, with long-standing behavior) and without doing dependence resolution (since build tools like Maven, Ivy, and Gradle already do that well enough). That is, I admit, somewhat cryptic. I'm writing up a longer note that will explain the background and the new approach in more detail. - Mark
