Unbelievable this answer, I am stimulating users to use it and with success. I 
feel, you are accusing me here and the windows community. No problem, we are 
continuing to let you know what issues we discover. In principal up to you how 
you handle issues  Keep in mind we are just users, no dev's. 

When you and other dev's should participate at  AL, should be good for the two 
worlds. 

So no way that the ASF would run a windows site, pity. 

For example I think Mario described the balancer issue quite good, but see no 
attention for a long time. More examples if you want. The former ipv6 issues is 
the winner, years before some give attention, even we (sob) supplied a fix. 
Also mod_fcgid has a fix provided by Mario, also not picked up. AL is providing 
a mod_fcgid binary with three fixes, so at some point we can solve things by 
ourselves. 

I already agreed to 2.4 GA, why wait so long. Not me is delaying. 

2.3 is already in hands/running of at least a few thousands  users for quite 
some time.  Based on the number of downloads and the good/bad reports we get.  
Special the PHP community is a big downloader and use.   Enough to see how 2.4 
should  go. I think 2.3 is great, some has bad luck with eg.  no ssl usable. 

To run 2.3 without SSL issues, 2.2 in front(proxy) overcomes it. So no hurry to 
solve the issue.
