Ok, yep, I think my terminology of module is confusing.

Understood regarding scripts - I misunderstood your original request on
17-Jan-2008 to be a general clean-up.

As a general question, though, who is responsible for cleaning up or fixing
potential bugs in the code in say the scripts directory?

I'll keep on studying - I'm pretty clear about the kernel code, I was
probably more unclear about the clean-up role.
