We may also think about retiring the module. The primary purpose of the
module (from my perspective) was to get sway 1.0 on stable releases (I
think it was F30). I don't use the module anymore, and modularity in
general is not very popular.
I don't actually know how to retire a module, but if everyone agrees, I
can start the process. If you think the module is still useful, I'd
welcome any help :)
I don't think that it is really possible to retire a module... You can
stop maintaining it, but afaik there is no clean upgrade path from
modular to non-modular packages :-(
(I hope that I'm wrong, but I'm afraid it's not the case.)
Also, I'd say that the module would be definitely useful to get an up to
date sway to the stable releases, but given it's low popularity I'm not
sure if it's worth the effort.
