Description changed by jonsurrell:

Old description:

> Script modules cannot depend on existing scripts such as `wp-url`, `wp-
> i18n`, or `wp-api-fetch`.
>
> Script modules should be able to leverage the functionality available in
> existing scripts.

New description:

 Script modules lack a lot of basic functionality available to scripts.

 - There's no way of associating data with modules to pass to the frontend.
 - Modules cannot access functionality available to scripts.

 I've updated the title and description to better reflect
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2024/10/14/updates-to-script-modules-
 in-6-7/ what actually shipped as a result of the work on this ticket].
 Original below.

 Original title: **Script Modules: Allow modules to depend on existing
 WordPress scripts**

 Original description:

 Script modules cannot depend on existing scripts such as `wp-url`, `wp-
 i18n`, or `wp-api-fetch`.

 Script modules should be able to leverage the functionality available in
 existing scripts.
