This is very simple way to enlist all the modules with descriptions of it.So , they can easily parse it with other scripts.IMHO, this is a good thing to have. I can even imagine it shipped by distros, for better bug reports. OTOH, if it's about the currently running kernel and loaded modules, why not putting this into /proc or /sys ?
The reason being not putting in the /proc or /sys is, it is not dynamically generated stuff. This is small script which do a specific task ,out of the information available in /proc or /sys. And essentially resides in the scripts directory for easy finding andusing.
