Ok, in this case maybe it doesn't apply but in general we should determine what the guidelines for third party module developers should be to avoid namespace clashes. I though a FreeBSD prefix for modules shipped as part of FreeBSD would be useful to list all those modules that are *not* third party supplied when you've got a directory full of the things. Paul.
