I suspect there would be issues related to the fact that the parameters would 
be seeing a different set of image data depending on where in the chain the 
module was, not to mention any settings on the "ouput" slider being meaningful 
only with the module they were adjusted for... as well as the fact that there 
are two different color spaces that any given module might work in, each with 
slightly different parameters. There are probably other difficulties, but 
that's what I can see as a non-developer.
