experimental. There have been a lot of changes that have gone into the
2.1 version that IMO allowed it to graduate from experimental to a
standard module. Most of these patches will never be backported to 2.0.
In fact Josh's patch will probably not be backported (although it is
simple enough that it could be) simply because the two code bases have
become so different that it is difficult to backport anything. In most
cases a backport is actually a rewrite. For this reason, I am ++1 for any effort to get 2.1/2.2 to BETA and
released. Even if the latest "Multiple AAA provider" discussion has to
wait for 2.4. We need exposure for the new authnz_ldap and util_ldap
modules as well as the new auth module structure itself.
Well, I'd also like to see Josh's patch back in 2.0.x as we'll have to continue patching it into each and every Apache 2.0.x build ourselves if it is not merged into 2.0.x. [I don't like leaving crashes around in executables we ship when they are so easily amended.]
