Well as the article points out, adding modules involves taking out the battery. There might be other design options besides an extra battery/super capacitor, but it kinda weakens the utility of quick change modules.

Are those modules hot-swapable? If the hardware and/or software does not support hot swap, there is a distinct possibility that they intentionally designed it this way: i.e. you have to power down before replacing modules. It would not be much more difficult to switch to "push-to-eject" battery mechanism which would make powering down optional when changing modules. Food for thought.
