Hi Peter, Anton previously sent explanation of our position. Nobody commented. Could you please comment on it? It's necessary for us to better understand your position. From our point of view technical ban of external modules loading doesn't solve any of mentioned problems, but makes VP developer life harder.

I don't think there's much point in your continuing to post versions of this patchset, because the answer remains "we don't want to do this, as a policy and design decision". Until and unless you persuade us that it's a good idea to change that decision, time spent on code changes doesn't seem like a good use of effort to me. thanks -- PMM
