Rgr... I understand.. and you are right about that..

I certainly wont... no way will I participate to a system that has the unavoidable effect to split the community of players.
I'm not against mods (I did participate to modding, I helped with many ingame maps, when it was official and controlled), I'm against Chapels. Chapels are unavoidable when the modding isn't controlled by a central authority that decide what's official, do the necessary quality checks and decide to include (or not... which is what potentially bother most of the actual modders that wouldn't accept any control) the mods in the game.
With a non-controlled mod distribution, you can surelly get some good quality mods... but you can't have a unicity of the game (which is for me more important, in the online scope, than the individual quality of some components).
And... the only way to get a centralized management and control... is to have it done by the game dev... there's no alternative.

I can respect that .. I disagree but you of course are entitled to your opinion.
