You're assuming they will want to. I agree with Kevin Fenzi's email that the here the input from the people who have made the choice to go full-modular would be nice. If we follow your hard rule we may end up choosing between: - java/maven being available as module - no java/maven at all in Fedora (this modulo the heroic efforts of the stewardship SIG - itself modulo the fact that the SIG defines itself has a temporary solution [1]) You say that modularity is making people leave but this applies to any changes, including the one you are proposing here.
