The difference being: I'm suggesting something that can definitely be
done now (maybe even today), and not about "maybe soon"s.

I don't want to sound disrespectful, and I see that a lot of work is
being poured into the Modularity effort.
However, I don't want to see fedora broken as a result of unfinished
solutions, where there's not even a visible agreement on the way
forward.

Ah, I haven't taken that as a disrespectful or anything! :-)

Actually, thanks for stepping up and offering help. Definitely agree that this might be a much faster temporary workaround before the proper fix comes. I just wanted to make sure that people understand that it's something we're working on.
