With the exception that tools like redhat-config-network or anaconda
use a customized copy of a module-info file.

It is specific to Red Hat. It is not referenced by any of the kernel
source files. And external tools don't access the file in /boot
either and hence stop working if the file is deleted. And frankly, I
don't care whether the file is created manually, half-automatically
(module descriptions would match those found in the kernel source)
or automatically as long as tools come with a copy of that file that
differs.
