Yeah I imagined it, sashiko has a point, whatever is EXPORTed can be used by
modules, so it may imply modules are supported.
What sashiko ignores is maintainability requirements.
A human is reviewing anyone trying to use reactors as modules, and adding that
change without properly advertising it may do more harm than good.

Sounds good, so I can review and test it as it deserves.

Nice, thanks for sharing, I had a few conversations about RV in functional
safety domains over the past weeks, I now better understand the challenges.
It'd be very interesting to discuss your requirements too.

Thanks,
