Is there a README indicating that the MAJOR/MINOR version tests for this particular tarball are not relevant/complete? No. This is not a snapshot. It is labeled httpd-2.3.4-alpha.tar.xx release. You surely don't misunderstand what I said. As for broken versioning rules, please take that to APR. Perhaps in retrospect, APR would consider an even/odds approach as httpd has for adding (even eliminating) interfaces during a development cycle.
