modulemd + related infrastructure gives you distributed building,
which is cool if you want to build a "solution" i.e. multiple
software packages all combined to serve a particular use-case.
Yes it is wickedly cool as a distributed building solution.
It is not cool *at* all* as a replacement for spec declarations. Just
put the correct variables in the spec files themselves, and have the
distributed building solutions set them during builds (as is done for
dist)
