I'm back from a few days away and offline, and like to get the momentum for 2.2.9 back up.
2 main things: 1. There are a number of backport proposals looking for and waiting for a 3rd +1... if you have time to look/review/vote, that would be good. 2. Consensus on whether we ship with APR 1.2.x or 1.3.x...My pref would be 1.3.
