I'm +1 for creating 2.1 and 2.2 trees as proposed by Bill. The current auth-docs problems can be fixed (and, in fact, Andr� has already gotten us most of the way there), but things would be much cleaner with a new tree.
I also believe this would better communicate with users the current state of apache. Plus it better meshes with the basic apache principal of letting individual coders work on what they think is fun/important. Both the people who want stability and the people who want progress can have their ways. Keeping trees in sync will be a pain, but I'm guessing it is a cost that people can deal with. Joshua.
