Cliff, There is no question about James going over the proper Apache process he should have listened to the community before sending such a message.
On the technical side of things, I think this change is helpful for a bunch of users and we should go ahead with it before the upcoming v2 release. If this change is postponed, it will make life harder for the users of the v2 release itself. So if there are no technical objections I will check it in.
