Modules are just as broken.
We really need to go back to just doing all the work directly in the one and
only Rawhide, no modules, side tags, or other such "features" that are just
conflicts waiting to happen. Yes, this means Rawhide will go back to being
broken for people trying to actually use it while a transition is ongoing,
but the point of Rawhide is to do development in it, NOT to be used. It
should be fully expected that Rawhide does NOT work as an actual distro,
ever. Its one and only purpose should be to coordinate the package
development so it all happens in one place.
But even for package development and
integration you need something that works
at least a bit. If you won't get a compose for a few weeks due to the constant
breakage you won't get much work done on landing your latest library rebase
or integrating a new package.
Not to mention trying to debug the breakage when nothing really works and
more stuff is constantly landing. I thin there needs to be *some* sort
of balance.
