This is useful in case a module prevents the system from booting.
I've got a patch from PiterPUNK in a local git tree for that, and
I *thought* we'd sent it to Jon back in November :/ Here's the
patch (attached):
Ah, I was not aware of this. The code looks very similar, except for
different syntax.
I don't recall the previous patch, oh well. In any case, the one Tom
sent seems reasonable. Unless Robby really minds, I'll pull the newer
one (comma-delimited list). If there's an established use of the ":"
syntax, let me know though.
The patch that rworkman sends is the one that I sent in June/2010 and
Matt Domsch put on m-i-t bugzilla in Nov/2010:

I guess probably we have a dozen ppl using this patch. So, changing
from ":" to "," probably wont kill anyone. At least not me.
Happy to see other ppl have the same problem, the same idea to fix
it and, better, this time is merged :)
