Java needs one module system. At this point, it doesn't matter which. But the continuing fragmentation will be it's death sentence.

It does matter.

Userland modules systems like OSGi can do whatever the fuck they can come up with during an enterprise occult architect-cult seance, but that is not mandatory for everyone else.

If the Java Platform does something stupid, you can't just sidestep the garbage and start from scratch.
