I very dislike the "module" terminology, which is not even reflected in the code / api. The API only has a notion of "Project". The notion of modules is only used while loading the reactor and never used again after. Everything is about "project" in maven, so I disagree with Jeff Jensen.
I would also suggest making the modules xml bits optional and scan all child directories for POMs by default if the project has a POM packaging and no module explicitly specified. You'd only have to specify those if you want to enable module selection from profiles (i.e. only have a subset of modules by default, and add others by activating profiles). So +1 for me.
