Is this arguing or "talking it through"?

I never update the modules on the rootfs-es I work on, I just teleport
the monolithic kernel in and work with a config that has all the bits I
need in the monolithic kernel.  Consequently, sometimes I do see bad old
modules coming in and OOPSing me until I go and delete the original
/lib/modules off the SD Card.  So it is a real issue being relaxed about
/lib/module versioning.
