We already have that particular problem with -enabled/ but it's confined
to the realm of really sloppy admins who forget to edit in -available/.

This is still acceptable and alleviates the original problem sufficiently,
and it requires no code changes, just the default configuration changes.

IMHO just changing modules to the -enabled/-available scheme would be a good
first step and it should be done first, in 2.1.10 or whenever.
