doesn't understand the potential problems shouldn't be doing this.
Furthermore, I think it's irresponsible to suggest this solution without
explaining what the problems are or how to avoid them.

Putting them in a different module just to put the in a different section is
downright silly.  Just specify a different section explicitly.
