I agree.

What about the following solution:
1) Leave registerModule() as it is and refactor the API in 6.2+
2) Add a feature to 6.2 which allows to hide a module globally, e.g. via
userTS:
options.hiddenModules := addToList(web_func)

This would be much cleaner than putting the configuration into
registerModule(). Even better: this solution would not be limited to
extbase modules.

As a side effect, ControllerActions could be registered for dispatching
without appearing as a BE module. And that's what is wanted in this
particular thread :)

One drawback I see so far: The module would show up in the access list
list of BE groups.
