Personally I find it to be irritating, if nothing else since it is now much harder to debug C-modules, you no longer get the errors from dlopen when they fail to load.
The reason is that .so-files now behave as .pike-files, not .pmod-files. This is somewhat more general, since its now possible to create C-level programs, not only modules, but the advantage is very small IMHO.

That's what I thought; though I hadn't had a chance to verify that. I guess the original question still stands (more for personal information than anything else, as it doesn't really matter to me) is what is the rationale? Is there a benefit, and if so, what is it?

Dynamic modules always get glue-files too now.
