Time and energy have been already spent by implementing/testing those patches, why are we circling around that somebody need to spend efforts to make AOLServer worse HTTP server and better non-HTTP server. Nobody needs to do anything, AOLServer still remains http server, those patches do not even change HTTP processing a bit, they only add additional functionality which co-exists with existing infrastructure making AOLserver more versatile environment.
Regarding sendmail list:
We use AOLserver with SMTP in front of sendmail and postfix, as MX server, and same aolserver provides us with nice Web interface which simplifies administration to just one server and even that administration goes through Web interface. It is a lot of man-hours for sendmail administrators to achive same level functionality with sendmail/apache-or-another-web-server.
I do not vote but regardless of the decision i will maintain my multi-protocol version of AOLServer4 (i have many production servers).

IMO, this is all BS. I don't mean any disrespect, but if I wanted a mail server, I'd install a mail server. I don't go on the sendmail list screaming for it to support http :)
Let me rephrase what I think Donald was trying to say, but without the edgy-ness:
If we could focus our energies on making AOLserver a better HTTP server, that would be really cool.
It's the "needs of the many" vs "needs of the few" issue -- yes, making AOLserver a better non-HTTP server serves the needs of the few, but if we're going to spend time and energy, why can't we do it to make AOLserver a better HTTP server than it already is? That would benefit far more people who already use AOLserver ...
