modularity. What do the proponents of the said modularity say about it?
What are its advantages? I personally think a big disadvantage is that
with one package install you get a wide array of tools for a variety of
subjects. With a constellation of modules you might end up with an
up-to-date core and an out-of-date lone module somewhere, which makes
things much much harder not only to maintain but also to debug in case
of issues. <div class="yiv5820356184yqt2693074091" id="yiv5820356184yqtfd23041"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div></div><div class="yiv5820356184yqt2693074091" id="yiv5820356184yqtfd49977">
