I think we should do this part differently. Each Fedora module has its own lifespan, separate from that of the base OS. It automatically gets built across all currently-supported base OSes. That way, I can maintain, say, "calc-2.x" in just one stream (where stream = git branch), and it automatically gets built everywhere. Rather than having EPIC modules be entirely separate, I'd like to just include them in this: by default, build all modules against both the Fedora _and_ EL bases. This has a further implication: these modules _may_ replace or conflict with CentOS (and possibly RHEL) modules. But you'd have to opt-in to those streams explicitly to do so. With non-modular Yum/DNF, having some packages update base software would be horrific because enabling the repo and running `yum update` would do who-knows-what. But with modules, that's not a problem. > EPIC > Extra Packages Inter Community. Extra Packages for Impassioned Community? Extra Packages Included by Community?
