ack. As i said - Only if the module is broken. I think it could be good to have some ppl checking old/broken modules, and try to fix them.

As you can see it on our channel, there are some users not using bugreports. Stelz for example.

IMHO
it's better to check things then
waiting for a bug report. And we would reduce this to old modules.
