tags 806779 + wontfix severity 806779 wishlist thanks We're not going to create yet another flavor of Nginx. I understand why you want this. However, we already need to handle the transition of the existing three flavors. There will not be an "nginx-modular" or equivalent if it can be prevented.
Because Nginx will now support dynamic modules, our focus is and will continue to be ensuring a seamless migration to it for everyone. It's the same reason we froze new plugins. There will already be a *LOT* to deal with. We don't need to make it more difficult than it will already be. As for the timing of it all; it currently looks like Debian 9 will freeze not very long after we are expecting the dynamic module support. If it works out, we will be on a very tight deadline. We don't need to add to the excitement that we already have lined up. I'm going to leave this bug open, though. It will need to be addressed in the future; not now. This is a "Temporarily Won't Fix." For the time being, you could use their repository if you need support.
