Now /etc/modules is almost empty (it only has iptables and ppp modules; iptables modules looks like unnecessary - main modules are loaded by daemon, other modules - when they really needed, possible - there will be specified something exotic lire nf_nat_pptp). And if we renamed it to modules.conf - it will not cause much headache for 3.x users. /etc/modules/ directory is really needed for some NIC drivers (it isn't enough good to force driver loading with parameters in current /etc/modules), and for iptables modules like nf_conntrack (it's hashsize option).
