Hmm, then I guess it is of pretty much no use at all to me. Pity. It
looked so promising...
Our current module definitions do very little restructuring. 95% of the
definitions are for dependency grouping only.
The few restructuring definitions that exist are used to recreate
folder hierarchies that were used in older versions of a product and
that's a crutch anyway as modules could not be properly versioned (i.e.
you could not say "this definition reflects the structure of product X
at the time of release Y (or rather tag Y)" without defining a whole
new module for it).

Is there an ETA for the next stable release yet?
