Additional unexpected complication when something goes wrong?
IMHO it's the opposite, if you have channeled these modules loading
scripts into a standard mechanism you know where to look for errors.
As of today if a package/user requires this functionality it needs to
invent something, I've seen from modifying /etc/rc.modules to fake
services to modifying rc.sysinit, none of which make diagnostics
easy.
