But in that case there is a risk for the design to be bad. Modularity
should always be the easiest possible.

Depends on the users. I am a power user and I care about being able to
use the display manager, init, window manager, programming language, 
mailer I like more. Sure, it may be better for many users but I don't
think locking stuff it is a good way to attract contributors. Providing
alternatives has always been a good way to move along in fedora extras, 
hoping it'll still be true after the merge.
