Similar here.  I'm still running modules-3.0.6-rko (why?  I installed
modules-3.1.1, but it looks like I never bothered to upgrade.
Strange).  It is used by (at least) 50 Users to manage up to 150
different (versions of) tools, and my only complaint now that I
increased the maximum length of environment variables to 4KB(*) is the
one that the module xxx/yyy/zzz will be displayed as yyy/zzz in the
list of modules (maybe this is fixed in 3.1.1?).

So, please, keep up the good work

Sven

(*) before that it used to react fairly unstable once the path got to
    long, crashing, forgetting which modules where loaded, refusing to
    unload and more...
