But yeah, it's a matter of taste.
Well, point taken. I guess you are right, this inconsistency should be solved somehow (either moving some stuff to e.g. /opt/additional-kernel-modules and symlinking them as e.g. /lib/modules/2.6.28.10-power51/extra/* or placing them all in /lib/modules together... probably the first option is a bit better, as if someone needs some special modules in rootfs to be loaded at boot, she/he will have sufficient knowledge to copy them by their own to rootfs manually).
