I know that I am always devils advocate and a brakeman regarding this, but we should keep in mind the following: 1. After the rewrite of the authz code to a provider based model we still fail the basic authz tests in the perl framework. This is a clear showstopper and needs to be fixed first. Yes, I also should have a had a more closer look on what Brad (no blame game intended against anyone as I failed to do proper review back then) did there in the past to highlight issues earlier, but my gut feeling tells me that there are still some surprises in this code regarding bugs and the configuration syntax. 2. My feeling regarding the usage of 2.2 is that since about 6 month we are getting track as commercial 3rd parties now supply modules for httpd 2.2. This means that will have to maintain one more stable branch for quite some time and to be honest currently we effectively manage only one since 1.3 and also 2.0 seem to be pretty abandoned. I am not quite sure if we have enough resources to do this. Regards Rüdiger
