Forever. It's open source, if it's broke, you get to keep both pieces
(and fix them if you like). If you see http://archives.apache.org/
the foundation generally makes source code available forever.
You probably wanted to ask; how long will 2.0 be maintained by the
httpd project? By the time 2.4 or 3.0 httpd are final, I would expect
only 2.2 and 2.4/3.0 to be maintained. That is probably another few
months or a half year.
However, I expect if there was a critical security vulnerability, we
would at least provide patches, and/or do a release -- lots of peoples
jobs are still tied to 2.0.x :-)
