That doesn't mean we need to be aggressively against out-of-tree code. One of the positive points about Linux and loadable modules has always been the flexibility that allows and encourages innovation, and helps enable more work and testing before a driver can become a fully-fledged part of the kernel. This move actively discourages part of that flexibility and I think it is breaking part of the usefulness of modules.
