Protocol issues really should be brought up on the dev list, with an
appropriate subject, and not left in bugzilla.
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39727
Entities gzip:ed by mod_deflate still carries the same ETag as the
plain entiy,
causing inconsistency in ETag aware proxy caches.
I'll have a look later and see if I can fix it, but let me know if there
is already a patch in the works (that doesn't rely on mod_filter).

Why other than ego do we want to make it hard to disable this output?
Technical reason:
Not advertising the brand and version makes it very hard for clients
(user-agents and proxies) to apply workarounds when needed.
As an example Squid currently has a workaround for how Apache handles
ETag in responses which has been modified by mod_deflate. In future we
hope to be able to disable that for versions known to be fixed.

Not sending the sever name and version will make this harder.
