The main problem I see in OLPC moduleset is that it has some external
modules (hosted in Transifex, etc).

This may be a problem for some coordinators, who doesn't have an account in
this platform, and don't know to work with it (at the beginning, it may be
a bit tricky...). Also, this kind of modules can be problematic, since you
see the module completed at 80% in DL, but at 100% in Transifex, so you can
get confused.
