reading now seems to suggest that, what I meant that the support for 
freeing fixup is there, basically some functions exported by modules can 
be used dynamically from other modules. In the past, functions exported 
to config couldn't be just imported unless the parameters after fixup 
were known, exposing to issues while updating fixup function and fixup 
parameter structure.

While this is not advisable as the module can actually export a C api, 
the feature will help when the functions will be used in embedded 
programs like perl or for a better clean up at shutdown.

Cheers,
Daniel
