OK thanks. I have 2 databases, a "main" db for the actual, prepared website content, and an "administrator" db, that holds the status for some unprepared, late-night data mining. I wanted to use the scheduler to run unsupervised tasks only on the administrator db. A final task would prepare some data and copy it into the main db.
Therefore the scheduler (and the admin db) doesn't really need to be loaded/exposed on every requests. I thought this separation would be good programmatically and for safety and security. So the conditional module loading sounded perfect for this.
