It's a good question.

The original reason for /usr/apache and /usr/apache2 was to allow for
a transition between incompatible versions -- presumably, /usr/apache
would go away after a new Solaris release.  If we're no longer caring
about maintaining compatibility for Apache (that is, we're willing to
place incompatible bits in the same location), then I'd argue that
there's no real reason to have the two separate directories anymore,
and we should just collapse them.
