Since you appear to believe that it is possible to design such a module
system after the editors appear to have spent a serious amount of time
investigating this question, I think the burden on proof is on you.

To do so, I would expect that you demonstrate your belief with two
actions:

  -- design a module system all the way thru (may require a prototype)

  -- validate with three distinct and unrelated implementations that
     your criteria can be met

I am looking forward to your completed counter-argument. Until then
I (and probably others) must consider your criticism non-constructive.
