I and others have brought up another reason. Cheaters. Say I am playing a game
with a normal 6 sided die online live with other players. I can edit my
module before joining to make my six sided die button always roll 2-6 instead
of 1-6, or worse, add a button for each desired die roll (one button that
always rolls 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5,6-6) completely removing the random
element all together. Being able to request a hash of the module and all
exetentions loaded to so that you can compare them and ensure they are not
running any extra modules would help with this. (I know this is not in the
spirit of the game, nor open source, but it can happen)
