Many packages are not accessible until a module is enabled. There is no way to search what module a package is in without first having the module enabled which is counter intuitive
Description of problem:
*With no modules enabled:*
yum module list --enabled
No matching Modules to list
# yum repolist
repo id repo name status
codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms Red Hat CodeReady L 1,479
rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms Red Hat Enterprise 4,230
rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms Red Hat Enterprise 1,965
*With all modules enabled:*
yum module list --disabled
No matching Modules to list
yum repolist
repo id repo name status

___
CodeReady goes up by 562 packages, appstream goes up by almost 1000, and baseos goes down by 2.
Why wouldn't a customer be able to access every package regardless of the module being enabled or disabled. Packages can be installed separately from their modules.
There is no way to query a package and find out what module its in unless that module is already enabled. repoquery and yum will just report that the package cannot be found.
Why did baseos go down in packages from me enabling all the modules (just the default streams, If no default, then the only stream). Why don't all modules have a default stream? Should I address that with a bugzilla against each module?
Expected results:
Packages should be installable regardless of a module being enabled or disabled. You can install the packages of a module without even enabling a
