I may be misundersting things, but I dont think anyone is proposing
removing the module unloading capability. I think what people are
saying is that the bugs are hard to trigger and fixing them introduces
performance problems so its better to tell people not to unload modules.
I dont think anyone is proposing preventing you from ignoring this advise.

I dont know this for sure, so I would love someone to make a definitive
comment.

Thanks,
