I assume we are in agreement that the current AAA discussion shouldn't

Absolutely it does. Either 2.1-dev has made implementing this
worse (my essentially workable proposal for 2.0 would no longer
work at all, with no workaround) or 2.1-dev has made implementing
such a feature possible, even trivial, even if it's not part of
the httpd-2.2 core. Suggesting we push out 2.2 'as is, whatever'
would be like having shoved out either Ryan's or Greg's original
filter stack without the group coming to concensus (and best of
breed solution.)
Bill's point, and it's valid, is whether or not the AAA framework
is robust enough that we can "push" 2.2 with a good warm
and fuzzy feeling that any "fixes or improvements" to it won't
cause an API break (Justin does allude to this). Sure, API
breaks can happen within and between Betas, but they should
be very rare (IMO). I also don't see anything in the
discussion currently which would lead me to believe that
the API we have isn't adequate (at least) to do what
we need done.
I vote +1 for a beta.
