So there is never going to be any mixing of modules and non modules? I
would think another way to solve this issue might be to get dnf to
prefer modules, but still operate on either rpms or modules, so if you
ran 'dnf install tmux' it would look for a tmux module, if it finds it
great, it uses that. If it doesn't then it looks for the rpm and uses that.
Then if later you do 'dnf update' and there is now a tmux module it
uninstalls the rpm and intalls the module, etc.

yeah, there definitely could be some complex interactions here, but I
think it's important to have the ability to install local rpms or things
that are not (yet) modularized.

Unrelated question: We will still be making the server repo and
netinstall so people can install the legacy server setup with rpms, right?
