It looks like the public 'rawhide' location *does* still have a Modular tree:

but there's still a problem there, because...it's now just stale data. That is the Modular tree from the 20230802.n.0 compose, and unless someone does something about it, it always *will* be. Keeping the last set of modular repos frozen in amber forever doesn't seem like the best permanent situation :)
Do we still have the problem where dnf will preferrentially pick content from a modular repo, even if it has older NEVR than the same package name in a non-modular repo ?
IOW, would the existance of this stale modular content, prevent the upgrade tools from correctly bringing in content from the new release ?
Well, I think only if you have a module explicitly enabled. We dropped the whole "ooh, if this is in a module, pull it in and enable the module!" thing aaaaaaages ago, it only lasted like one release I think. IIRC, anyway.
But yes, if you have any modules enabled, the experience is going to be bad.
