+1, makes sense & looks like really nice enhancement / refactoring to me.

AFAICT the users seems to pretty like the modules hot-plug feature
(especially
on OpenShift, where it allows to configure the pod without a need to restart
the server itself), and with the future support for no-downtime upgrades,
this
IMHO is something the admins would search for as the next nice thing to
have, to prevent unnecessary server downtimes for all users.
