Are there any plans to support other MPM's? If not, the
benefits of HTTP2 appear to be permanently out of reach for our mod_perl
applications and
that, honestly, might force us into seriously reevaluating our technology
stack. :(
Am I allowed to jump into the same thread, and ask about what the general
status of
mod_perl is, nowadays (if someone knows) ?

(Mind you, for us MPM prefork and HTTP 1.1 are still perfectly ok, but the

more about the longer-term future).
I'm also curious about this as I anticipate HTTP/2 support becoming
a valuable and important feature in the future (the recent updates to
mod_perl2 have been good for us).

I have to add my voice to the growing chorus here. As it stands, we are
forced to choose between mod_perl and HTTP/2. At the moment, our shop
has chosen to keep mod_perl, but I share the above concerns, and I'd
rather see mod_perl be ready if there is ever a major cultural shift /
push to HTTP/2 in the broader market.
