Anything automatically done in the unload-hook is just an ad hoc fix for
things the
module author knows how to do better than us. FEATURE-unload-function has
already
been there for a few years. I don't remember right now whether we suggest
in the
mode-creation documentation to use it, but certainly that's something
module authors
should do, and the automatic unloading is just a last-resort feature for
those old
modules that don't. There's no point IMHO to make the hands off approach
work better.
