There is one point about just dumb editors of configuration files: AutoYaST. 
Getting rid of these modules completly would also mean that we get rid of 
related AutoYaST functionality. And once we have the AutoYaST functionality, 
run-time functionality is, depending on particular case, mostly for free.

However, I agree that there are modules which are not needed any more for none 
of YaST's use cases (e.g. ISDN module).
