You're continuing to make an argument that doesn't seem to backed up with 
any actual real problems.

Can you point to real breakage? For real people? 

It sounds like your whole argument literally boils down to "one or two 
people doing something really stupid or odd cannot just fix their setup".

What is the real-life situation where copying the firmware with the 
modules (but still as separate files) actually breaks?

IOW, what _is_ this theoretical breakage? And why is it so deadly 
suddenly? Give us real examples that somehow cannot be fixed?
