But millions and millions of users rely on it everyday. What might help
migration is a simple chart showcasing the differences between 2.x and 1.x 

I'm no power user of Apache but I still can't see why Apache 2.x is a "MUST
HAVE" vs. a stable product in use by millions of users.

Apache is facing a marketing problem not a technology problem

Of course.  Apache 1.3 is an old, legacy application, and vastly less
capable than current versions.  It's still maintained, but noone is in
the business of adding new *features*.

2.1 is where interesting things happen, while 2.0 is intermediate: new
features may be added, but stability and binary-compatibility are more
important.  I might review and incorporate a third-party patch for 2.x,
but certainly wouldn't for 1.x unless someone was paying.

Bugzilla is a good place for patches like that.  People who want it can
help themselves, without compromising stability.
