Some modules are built in MBS/Koji but are never released to users.
Currently such modules can only be used as build dependencies of other
modules. In future, if solution like "ursa-major" [1] is implemented,
such modules could also be used as build dependencies for non-modular
packages.
An example of buildroot-only module is javapackages-tools. This
module is used as build dependency for 4 modules, but it is not
included in any compose and it's not shipped to users.
Should such modules be considered as allowed in Fedora? I am not
aware of any policy that would disallow them, but I would rather ask
in advance and not be surprised if one day I find out that I have to
ship such modules to users and support them.
I'd say they were allowed. I would assume they would also be
downloadable / usable by others if they wanted to, but that doesn't mean
you would need to 'support' them.
