What's your story to migrate bilions of line of code that are currently using the preprocessor to use modules?
One of the design goals of the module proposals is that there is a migration path from pure include to pure modules. The transition must not require a flag day.
In particular a program must be able to handle a mix of modularized libraries and old school libraries for the rest of the eternity (it is not likely that C is going to move to modules anytime soon).
