I agree that it's time (or perhaps past time) for 1.3 to be removed.

apache 2.0.65 was released in June of 2013 (or at least that's the
timestamp in the tarball).  So while it's crufty, it's not really dead
upstream, and surely there are users of it in pkgsrc.  (I agree that
people using it should migrate, but that's different from removing the
package.)
