Hello Thom,

Having read your mail, I agree with your opinion that the Debian apache2
package should remain largely untainted.

There have been a few abortive attempts by the Metux MPM community to
increase awareness of the Metux MPM, but admittedly these have generally
stopped short of doing any extra work in order to justify inclusion into
the Apache 2 tree.

Do you have any suggestions as to how Metux MPM could increase the
chances of inclusion into mainstream Apache 2?

Thank you,

Thank you Thom, I'll speak to the metux guys to see what we can do.

I thought I was in love once. And then later I thought maybe it was
just an inner ear imbalance. We spent an evening snowed in on the side of
a mountain watching the Northern Lights. It was probably the most dramatic
moment of my life. But in the end, I realised I'd learned two things. The
first is that it's easier to think you're in love than it is to accept
that you're alone. And the second is that it's very easy to confuse love
with sub-atomic particles bursting in the air. I also learned that I
should have my ears checked more regularly. -- Benton Fraser, Due South
