Fine with me to introduce something like "# module - sage.groups" with identical semantics as "# optional - sage.groups". I'd suggest to take such discussions to https://github.com/sagemath/sage/issues/35750 Perhaps this is the core question (for me): What do you expect most/casual users to download and install? It may be the wrong question because it seems to assume there is one population of such users. The population of current Sage users and developers can continue to install the monolithic Sage. Or, in the modularized terminology, they install the distribution "sagemath-standard". But the point why I have been working so intensely on the modularization project is to open parts of Sage to new populations of users and developers who are at home in the Python world. In particular those who find that they cannot use the monolithic Sage for their needs and therefore go looking for other projects that do not impose such constraints. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
