Just as a reminder, 2.2 STATUS contains;

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2015-3183 (cve.mitre.org)
     core: Fix chunk header parsing defect.
     Remove apr_brigade_flatten(), buffering and duplicated code from
     the HTTP_IN filter, parse chunks in a single pass with zero copy.
     Limit accepted chunk-size to 2^63-1 and be strict about chunk-ext
     authorized characters.  [Graham Leggett, Yann Ylavic]

and has lingered now for two weeks (a month, actually, when measuring
secur...@httpd.apache.org time).  This blocks not only tagging 2.2, but
also publishing security guidance with corresponding patches for general
consumption, barring a successful release including these patches for 2.4
and 2.2.

If you had offered to review security patches in Jeff's 2.2 interest thread
of a month ago, please consider taking a bit of time to compare this change
to the corresponding change already approved in 2.4.x branch (and rather
extensively reviewed over the past two release votes).
