The httpd community has never objected to it. IF you are suggesting putting
wire protocol implementations in APR, I think again you are overloading the

However, that I will disagree with. httpd has never wanted a client
library for the same reasons as APR: scope creep. It's outside of our
charter. -- justin
If this is still the sentiment (my personal take is that we are the keepers
of one HTTP reference implementation, so offering a client reference impl isn't
outside the charter - ergo I disagree with the sentiment), well then...
...if you are interested in moving serf to 1) a full blown subproject (to avoid
the development noise on our primary dev@ channel) or 2) creating a serf TLP,
I'd jump on mentoring/joining that effort in a heartbeat. It would probably be
the fastest incubation process to date; re-importing an effort which started
here, enjoys the ASF license, and (I believe) entirely maintained by ASF CLA
holders ;-)
