Since we're all dealing out small change... :-)

We have tons of perl and python modules, and nobody's fretting much
over it, although they do extend the functionality of the base language
in one way or another.

Probably the reason nobody's fretting much is because when something
goes wrong, users file bug reports with the module owner and not with
the perl (or python) maintainer...

Sure, a broken perl module doesn't necessarily bring down the user's
machine, so kernel modules *are* different and need special rules.

But forbidding them in Extras seems a bit of a stretch too IMHO.

Oh, and here's the small change: CHF 0.02...
