I thought the whole point of continuing to load modules from /modules in
5.x was to give host adminsitrators a sensible place to put 3rd party
modules, so that they wouldn't be blown away by the installkernel and
reinstallkernel targets.

I understand why you want /modules to go away, but the onus is on you to
replace it with something, because it had a purpose.

So, what are you offering in its place? :-)

Ciao,
