If the httpd 2.2 includes a caching_util module then the only reason for these stabilization patches is the 2.0 branch. Also, if there are any other modules that do depend on util_ldap, wouldn't they be just as broken as mod_auth_ldap was and probably want to update anyway? I don't know, I was hoping to get some other feedback from the list. >As for the header being in /include, I think it should be there so that >external modules can be built against util_ldap.
