Deploying as a module is the recommended way for a number of reasons,

* JDBC driver is split into multiple JARs that needs to be considered as 
one unit
* JDBC driver needs to be linked with already deployed modules
* Multiple versions of the 'same' JDBC driver for a vendor (yes, you can 
rename when using deployments/)
* Native code integration

So, while having the option to deploy a JDBC driver in a simple way is 
good, it doesn't cover all the cases that are needed in enterprise 
deployments.
