Not really.  The reason I would like to have a binary module is so my
users don't have to know how to compile it.  So many people have
problems getting the right header files, compiler, etc, that it is
easier for them if everything just works.  Distributing the module as a
binary doesn't mean that I don't want to distribute the source code with
it, I just want to minimize the user from screwing up and ultimately
being turned off from running my code because it is too hard to install.

another reason would be I want to run two 2.4.3 kernels one with devfs
and one without devfs using the same modules for both kernels.
