Because, the autoclean flag is still useful - read
linux/Documentation/kmod.txt to see what I mean. You can add a cron job to
periodically do an autoclean cycle - basically same damn thing that
kerneld did. I've got it working fine on my box - just goes through every
5 minutes and cleans out unused autoclean-flagged modules. :)
