* It may lose stability. If there is a module that does something bad, the kernel can crash, as modules should have full permissions.
* ...and therefore security is compromised. A module can do anything, so one could easily write an evil module to crash things. (Some OSs, like [[Linux]], only allow modules to be loaded by the root user.)
* Coding can be more difficult, as the module cannot reference kernel procedures without kernel symbols.
