What about the CR phase? Isn't the right time to ensure that atomicity
of modules make sense? Provided that the PR entrance criteria is
restrictive enough on the module implementation, I think the process
ensures the possibility of such a claim. And if that's the case, the QA
framework should probably provide some guidance on this.
