Can you give a bit more detail?  I'm not sure how one would go about 
eliminating modprobe.conf - so many things seem to use it.  Particularly 
alsaconf (alsa-utils).  Do you not even need alsaconf?  To actually remove 
module-init-tools would remove hotplug too, so you can't totally give up 
modprobe.conf.
