Yes it is trivial and more importantly it's not my call to make [as I mentioned earlier]. Having "modeline" and "less error prone" in the same context is an interesting oxymoron. Instead of having a per display server modelines, a more consistent and robust solution is to utilise the kernel command line [1] or via a custom edid blob [2].
