I've had a number of people comment that httpd.conf needs help in two regards.
First, although the copious comments are wonderful for the beginner, they are excessive for someone moderately experienced. There needs to be an abridged version of the config file with minimal comments. Second, the file is arranged a little randomly, and could stand to be arranged in a somewhat more coherent manner. (Although I've had a number of people mention this to me, none of them have suggested a better arrangement.) I was wondering if anyone had any particular objections to including a file called, say, httpd.conf.abbrev or .minimal, or .abridged (or some other qualifier) which contained only minimal comments on each block? This is something that I frequently do for myself on my own servers, so that I don't have to paw through dozens of lines of comments to get to the part that I want to modify.
