a) is clear b) Benchmarking, notifications, automation, basically anything that is not an interactive user request coming from a browser. Modules are cumbersome as you have to import loads of controller style logic and you end up with one-liner controller functions which just invoke module functions and a bloated module with all sorts of imports and calls that web2py controllers do by default. That's what I meant by referring to cruft. Note that the fact that it's not a browser call does NOT mean it does not have an output ! In the simplest form, I want to get rid of wget http://localhost/app/controller/function style calls in favor of direct calls (wget calls being the dark side, I know, but so much simpler and quicker than moving controller content to modules).
