Why? I see no reason that they shouldn't behave like the modules 
with editionless declaration at the top.

Does this override the edition at the module declaration?

Of course they have to _support_ the new edition, but why would 
they have to _transition_ to the edition themselves? Seems extra 
work for no good reason.

All in all, I strongly support this DIP.
