From my also little understanding of modularity, this is so you can
reinstall base perl packages. In some ways ( I am glossing over things
here), modular rpms always beat bare rpms because a module can put in rules
to say 'you can install this package but it does not work with these rpms
so they need to be removed'. So I think any modules we write which would
over-ride non-modular packages, we would also need to write a 'get me back
my f'ing defaults' module which stubs in a similar way the perl and some
other modules do.
No, this is not the case. If the module isn't enabled its packages will just
be ignored. It's only if you enable the module that you get the RPMs from
that module.
