I think one of the "rules" is that the 2.2.x kernel shouldn't require an upgrade of userspace tools, such as modutils in this case.
So 2.2 would still require the driver scripts if you want to support dynamic module loading on USB device insertion, but this makes yet another good reason to move to 2.4 when it is available :)
