Yeah. After some thugh my argument was crap.
I was basing what I ssaid on the fact that for me modules are usually

But that said, I have module inet and unix sockets, so my argument is
bullshit.
Bad brain dump I guess.

Actually, modprobe should probably check for this and refuse to load modules
where ((st_umode & 011) != 0).
