Modules solve two problems for EPIC: First, since each module has a lifecycle definition, they make it easy to maintain packages for EPIC without the 10-year commitment (or, indeed, any more commitment then the packager makes in Fedora). And that works both ways: as a consumer, I can know up front what lifecycle I can (at least nominally) expect from a given module stream. Second, I *do* think there are a lot of cases where different EPIC users will want different versions. The Django module we have in Fedora now would be immediately useful. I do also worry about the possible negative feedback loop. I suggest we start _building_ for EL by default but not tagging into the repo.
