I'm glad that the config file at least allows you to control the loading 
of modules. I wondered why the vnc module was loaded when I ran X 
-configure to make an xorg.conf file. I guess this method of 
configuration that X -configure does might help out the people who use 
vnc also.

Regarding the "helpful software", I get the visual of a run of the mill 
husband trying to work on the plumbing or the electrical circuits. A 
disaster is in the wake. :-)
