Are we changing the lb member structures to force recompilation of all
non-core lbproviders and consumers in a subsequent 2.4.x release and
introducing more binary breakage?

Or do you envision keeping this in trunk for 2.next, or making this entirely
cosmetic (same intregal struct member, at a multiplication of 10n) in the
proxypass / balancer parameter config logic? Since that config logic is
entirely in core/proxy_balancer, it should be transparent to lbproviders
and consumers.

Is this just some GUI/config magic with the existing int (e.g. shifting decimal 
places), or are you thinking of changing lbfactor to a FP type in the struct? 
It would be really nice if lbfactor (and lbstatus?) were floating point. I have 
had a couple of instances where that would have helped me do something, but I 
realize that would not an insignificant change to the code or its compatibility.

I'll be adding some code to allow for lbfactors to be
single decimal numbers (like 1.1, 2.5, etc...)... People
have asked "How do I change it so that machine B is like 10%
preferred" and I mention that "Well, you could make one a
10 and the other an 11" but that confuses people. :/

Stefan, I think you ought to advertise your mod_md on the Let's Encrypt
list of acme clients right now, even though it hasn't been released in a
stable version yet.

Best,
