[wildfly-dev] Module aliases and deprecation

[David M. Lloyd]

You can't add properties to alias modules IIRC.

If you want to have deprecated/unsupported/etc. for a module, then 
instead of an alias, create an empty module with the old name that 
imports and re-exports the desired target module.  Then put the 
properties on this empty module.
