Also, to be clear, there *are* reasons why one might want to split content into different repositories. However, I don't think the way that content is packaged should be one of those reasons. Those kinds of decisions should be around the purpose of the content itself, or intended uses, or common lifecycles. Whether it's a module or a regular RPM should be fairly immaterial. josh > If we believe modularity to be a technology that we can really > leverage and start making a fundamental piece of how Fedora is built > and offered, why would we want to segregate modules to their own > repository?
