There's also a usability issue here. I don't think we should force all
Asterisk admins to learn the names of the modules and learn which
modules actually make sense to reload. It's complicated enough.

Asterisk is gaining new grounds and we reach users that doesn't
know internal linux architectures, dynamic module loading,
or basic linux commands...
