You're right. It is just outdated UI thing. Working on it...
Max, do you mean, that the "real module UI" will replace the Main Module page (and the Modules dialog) and handle all modules on a equal level? If so, I wait patiently :)
Another module question: Currently, when defining module dependencies, always all modules are listed, so it should be easy to create circles. This must be prevented in a elegant way. My idea is following: 1) the list for all modules must be sorted by dependencies (e.g. the core module, that does not depend on other modules, at the top), 2) when defining modules, only modules "above" the current module are allowed and displayed, 3) one should be able to move modules at the same dependency level up-and-down the all modules list as long as the rule "dependent modules are below" is fulfilled.

I do not know whether Max meant that (I belive he did :)), but yes that is how it is going to be.

The future UI will prevent this from happening.

Why does one want to move them up and down?

To be able to sort them for a better structure. Note, our current project has approx. 35 modules at the moment and after a lot of refactoring this number will increase.
But this particular issue is not that important for me as the first two points.
