I think the conversation we had on Tokyo setting the expectation that
there's always exactly one object built for a module implies that the
library *has* to ship that object.

I don't know what to say. The module is a part of the interface, therefore
it needs to have the objects made available to the user.

Requiring each project to build their own versions of the module objects
is, pardon my bluntness, nonsensical.
