A new structure member (at the end of an httpd-allocated structure)
This one can be tricky to manage. Since every structure in httpd is
accessable to modules, it is possible for a custom module to allocate
structures and pass them back into the server. If the module allocates
space for an old version of a structure and passes that pointer back
into httpd, the results are, well, predictable in an unpredictable kind
of way.
That's true if the module allocated struct can be used in the core
itself. I think the William is right about that, as well as you are :)
If the changed struct can be pushed back to the core and the rest of
modules, then we need a major module bump. In other case it's only the
minor, because the rest of the world will still have all the data
from the previous minor.
