Disagree.

Kernel has kmod, module has kmod - automatic load.
Kernel has kmod, module does not - manual load.
Module has kmod, kernel does not - manual load.
Module and kernel do not have kmod - manual load.

Perfectly sensible results for all combinations, no need to recompile
modules. Personally I will not use binary only modules but I have to
accept that some people want to.
