I certianly am aware of that, and other depricated directives, as well. What I'm more-or-less referring to are the Language-related stuff and <IfModule> containers (as well as bringing up some of the more informative comments and such from 1.3.) Apache 2.0's httpd.conf is based off of 1.3.9's, and there have been a few changes to the 1.3 httpd.conf since then that are cross-version compatable and were not up-ported to the one in the 2.0 repository. I seek to "sanitize" the two in that regard so to make the 2.0 conf as similar to the 1.3 conf as much as possible. I think it's a relatively small important thing to make sure of before 2.0 is released in GA. It'll give those who notice these things a good feeling :) /dale
