Description Florian Best

We should replace the concept of flavors and replace it so that the XML file of a package can provide multiple <module>'s using the same python-module. From security perspective it is way more easy to configure ACL's for this. Currently a lot of modules which are using flavors can't be properly configured using ACL's for flavors (e.g. Appcenter (components/repositores, packages, appcenter), UDM (…), System-Setup (network, certificate, ...).

Also the code complexity would be more smooth.

The flavors are still disturbing and error prone. Everything could be designed as a single module.
