And I haven't even scratched the surface of modules in Fedora or EPEL. Stephen Gallegher and I had some conversations a couple years ago when Fedora modules were new about making GlusterFS modules, but the need then for modules was unclear, and I've never looked any further into that.

The basic idea here is that you could make a non-default module stream, which when not enabled would never be installed from but when enabled, could replace "normal" packages. And modularity lets you define the set of such packages cleanly.
