I do see their uses. However, there are problems with using them. The
point is that 90% of users don't have a real use for modules, much less
need them.
As I pointed out to another person that responded, I've had too many
support calls from people whose problems were a direct result of not
loading a module, or compiling support into the kernel, and still trying
to load the module as well.
