If you're going that route, I really see that as being 
worse than introducing a new mod_perl2 package with mp2
and restoring all of mp1's CPAN indexing (including mod_perl.pm).
I now think was a mistake for any of the Apache::* core modules 
to be indexed with mp1, because it looks like a wedding between
the Apache:: APIs and the mp1 implementation of them.  This is, 
IMO, the kernel of the complaints against the mp2 release plan.
