+          <p>Module Magic Number (MMN) is a constant defined in Apache source
+          that is associated with binary compatibility of modules. It is
+          changed when internal Apache structures, function calls and other
+          significant parts of API change in such a way that binary compatiblity cannot
+          be guaranteed any more. On MMN change, all third party modules have to
+          be at least recompiled, sometimes even slightly changed in order to
+          work with the new version of Apache.</p>
