modules are not RPMs. I would not expect them to necessarily use the same format as RPMs. If we take koji out of the equation, we have module builds in N:S:V:C format and module RPMs in N-V-R.A format. They use different separators, but both can be parsed consistently.
The challenge here is that those module builds are squeezed into a N-V-R format when imported into Koji. The N-V-R format is used for all build types in Koji and it works well for its purpose, but it's also not realistic to expect that all content types are going to natively use N-V-R outside of Koji. My suggestion is that we consider the N-V-R format of modules to be a representation internal to koji and that N:S:V:C is the format used to represent modules to users. If that means tweaking the Koji UI we can look into that.
