The hybrid approach is "things can be built as modules, but tagged into
the base", right? What problems does this solve vs. allowing modules to
be used as dependencies and build deps?


I think the "hybrid approach" he's referring to is having modular and non-modular RPMs living in the same directory structure. I don't see that being needed in Fedora at this point.

If he *does* mean the above, I think that's going to be solved by Ursa Major (long explanation available on request), but that's probably an F30+ feature. And yeah, that will basically be allowing modules to be a dep for non-modular content.
