This is a desired change. In no way is it close to being a showstopper. Further, I'm not even sure how to provide the feature and (at the same time) keep the fp private. Some callback nonsense or something with buffers. Blech...
I'd like to just toss the feature and be done with it :-)
But no... if somebody happens to get the desire to fix it by 2.2, then great. If nobody does, then great.
Not so fast Greg. You can't just cut an arm because *you* decided you don't like it anymore. The feature was never called experimental and wasn't scheduled to go away. Now there are multiple users who rely on this feature, both in apache 1.3 and apache 2.x land. So if you suggest a different approach to solve the problem that's fine. But just dropping it on the floor in Apache 2.2 is not an option.
