Exactly.  We are in agreement that recent developments seem to go
against the traditional desire and it is understandable Lars sees
this as a regression.  I still do not have a strong opinion either
way, if this is a regression or a progress.

I am not sure if I follow.  Submodules are not trees and one of the
reasons people may want to separate things into different modules is
so that they can treat them differently.  If submodules allow you
a richer set of operations than a tree that is part of a monolithic
project, is that necessarily a bad thing?
