One of the biggest problems with modularity in EPEL is the our current implementation doesn't allow requiring modules from another build system [0][1]. Has some other third party implementation solved this? And more importantly, do any third party modules exist that require EPEL modules?
I was told that there are companies which build and deploy their own modules. I have no other datails. Especially whether their modules depend on EPEL modules.
A special example are RHEL rebuilds. E.g. Oracle can reproduce RHEL modules, including dependencies, with exact name-stream-version-context-architecture string https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL8/appstream/x86_64/repodata/c26cb67fb60842991270a0a6c37b52cd356c437fcb7c4b8d540ad71fc70c4fc9-modules.yaml.gz.
However, I think this problem is of topic now. If EPEL and MBS people were able to tackle it they wouldn't call off modules from EPEL.
