OK, but consider for a bit the possibility that you might like to tell a
module go away without quitting FVWM. It seems better to ask the module to
go away, rather than just yanking its input stream. An EXIT packet
wouldn't necessarily tell the module that FVWM is going away, but only that
the module should go away.
I'm assuming, of course, that there isn't already an EXIT packet. It's
been a while since I hacked on FVWM modules.
Of course, modules should still properly handle FVWM croaking anyway.
