  I can appreciate that argument.  I did consider it myself,
 but decided that because the minor modules had such differing
 goals, and no real functional overlap, in practice that would
 mean that explicit ordering wasn't a strong requirement.

  If/when a better registration scheme becomes available then
 we'll all switch to using it, and that would be great.

  Thanks for the feedback.  I'll not tweak any further.
