One wouldn't and one shouldn't! The problem is, if the proper behaviour of modules depends on the runnumber and the setting of that runnumber is spread out all over the place, you can easily imagine that different runnumbers are passed to different modules, even though it shouldn't. Finally, we have a module (BrDbUpdateModule) that takes care of all the initialisation that is needed, and hence we should use that for to be absolutely certain that we maintain referential security. > In any case, now that I know your reasoning it should be easier for > me to keep falling into the same trap.
