The reason for that is that we would need to maintain 2 copies of
bash, one for users and one for buildroot. I do that for libgit2 and
it is painful.
Okay, yeah. But modules can override base, right? So what if 4 is left as
the default in F30 and a module for 5 added, and then in F31 hopefully there
will be ursa major¹ in place.
But wait also: can't the module just refer to the release-branch (base)
dist-git? Why maintain two copies?
[1] a funny name for "allowing modules in buildroot"²
[2] hey, what happened to sgallagh's "hybrid" proposal where output from
modules could just be *tagged into* base? That seemed perfect for cases
like this.
