You first among them all were perfectly happy to champion stupid design considerations as 'beyond Bill's authority' as a committer and reviewer, and sadly while I sat in the chair of httpd and got to eat dirt. I'm not trying that again, httpd 2.0 does not entirely compile against apr 2.0-dev, and likely never will due to this stalemate. I'm entirely willing to invite vetos with my code, if I wasn't I wouldn't commit. But if you go back through the archives, you will realize several of you were entirely on the wrong side of problem-solving. If you would personally like to invite vetoes, please be our guest.
