If you mean 'modules' in the general sense of a shareable component (so
that it would include interceptors for 3.2 and valves for 4.0, for
example), I don't care much about the name, although your particular
choice doesn't avoid the political appearances issue. If you mean
'modules' as in something that implements the 3.3 apis for modules, be my
guest -- but that makes it pretty useless to many. (3.3 apis are
irrelevant to anything I'm interested in, for example.)

I've said it before, and i'll say it again -- 3.2 is in maintenance mode,
and doesn't need any further focus for enhancements. Time spent providing
enhancements there would be better spent focusing on its replacement.
