webmaster@1: This directory is reserved for core module files. Custom or contributed
webmaster@1: modules should be placed in their own subdirectory of the sites/all/modules
webmaster@1: directory. For multisite installations, they can also be placed in a subdirectory
webmaster@1: under /sites/{sitename}/modules/, where {sitename} is the name of your site
webmaster@1: (e.g., www.example.com). This will allow you to more easily update Drupal core files.
