I don't really like underscores either.  Is the "pen island" problem 
really a problem?  How often does that happen?

I think the number of modules causes/increases the likelyhood.  Sean 
made a good post describing the pro's/con's of having a large number of 
modules:

A weakness in the linker may have been a factor in some of the decisions 
and I wonder whether they would change if the weakness was fixed?

Then I think, regardless of the number of modules and what you call them 
I'm still going to need searchable documentation to find the 
class/method/feature I want at any given time.  So, while descriptive 
naming of modules etc may help a little they don't mean all that much to me.

At the end of the day a decision has to be made and it won't make 
everyone happy (as both Sean and Kris have said a few times).  Given 
that and provided there isn't an obvious flaw the system used I would 
simply get used to it.
