I got mentioned a few responses ago, so I feel that I ought to answer.
Either approach to supporting different distributions is a really good idea
since it makes it easier for users, but doesn't impinge on the developers in
any important way. Whether profiles are used for this or just repositories with
versions selected by the users is pretty much a toss-up (from the user's point
of view).
One of the major tenets of Apache is business friendly open source, so
facilitating consumption of Apache software in this way by vendors (who really
do add lots of value, frankly) is very much aligned with core Apache goals.
