Good clarification to make, thanks.
My reading of the discussion is that there has been no intent to have
multiple minor releases concurrently, i.e. there wouldn't be 2.2.4,
2.2.6, 2.2.8 at the same time. Only, possibly, a 2.2.something and a
2.4.something. Did anyone feel differently?
However, in terms of layout we've been discussion using the perl/PHP
layout, which means
/usr/apache2/[version]/...
where [version] is the full version like "2.2.4".
If we go the versioned layout direction, I think we'll just want the
major.minor release in [version],
/usr/apache2/2.2/...
/usr/apache2/2.4/...
otherwise there will be a large number of versioned directories, increasing
every time a handful of bug fixes come out.
