Now that 2.0.40 has been released and we are in development of .41 and the fact that there has been a proposal for re-architecting the AUTH modules, I would like to propose that we move AUTH_LDAP out of it's own project and into experimental. This will enable AUTH_LDAP to get more exposure as an external module, allow it to be included in future releases of Apache 2 for testing and stabilization, and make sure that it is not overlooked in future development. LDAP is an important authentication method and should be supported in Apache.
