I think that many of the outstanding issues are not related to how modules are specified by the standard, but rather how vendors are going to implement them. Some details that will affect usability and tooling are not baked-in into the standard. In that sense, it's possible that those problems you mention have not been ironed out yet, even if the standard has been approved.
