All SFX based modules implement an object deriving from SfxModule that is inserted into an array inside of SFX. It's possible that other objects also are inserted into such arrays. So before we could think about using the Exit() methods we had to make sure that all of these gaps have been removed. This indeed would be a nice thing - it would improve our architecture a lot.
