Especially for mod_ftp, I think that it requires many more eyeballs
and a comprehensive test suite before it should be part of a stable
release. Otherewise, it would just be a source of lots of security
issues that need to be handled and would tie up resources.
Including into trunk, and with 2.4 RTC, then the above is all
assumed...
I think Stefan's legitimate concern is implicit inclusion in 2.6/3.0,
not a potential backport into 2.4.
Yes, I think that's what he meant.
IMHO that wasn't a problem lately. When we got closer to 2.4 several
pieces were removed, because they were not well tested, not
well-documented or didn't work. Determining the stuff to remove from the
release wasn't a difficult or controversial discussion. So I'd say no
further hard rules on which additions to trunk will make it into a
further release are needed.
