[...] We still use apache2 in a production environment with a connection module which is only available for 1.3 or 2.0. The API between 2.0.x and 2.2 changed totally and the compat APIs disappeared. This API was developed to help vendors to move their 1.3 modules to a 2.0 installation without too much development. Not every vendor has developed further and we depend on that module. It's a connection module to a Java application server from ATG.com. Apache 2.x performs alot faster than 1.3 plus there are a few configuration options which are not available on 1.3. So I would like to see apache2 support in pkgsrc even if the Apache foundation recommends the migration to 2.2. If needed I'll take the maintainership as we needed it for daily usage (see: http://www.br-online.de - this apache2 pkgsrc on CentOS 4).
