Once again, I don't think you're giving me enough clues as to what you're aiming at. While I believe it's the sysadmin's choice whether to unload modules, it's also hir choice as to whether to run a daemon that'll auto-unload unused modules. That part of your idea I can understand.

Or am I missing something again?
