I haven't gotten to them yet, but at a glance it's probably a big enough change
that it should should go in during a merge window.  The module loading stuff is
a bit of a rats nest because it never really got finished, so I want to make
sure things get sufficient testing over there.

I'll try to take a look, though -- it's only ~1K messages deep in my inbox, so
there's hope :).
