Hi!

I want to propose a Road-Map and ask about your opinions about some details. 
Most iportantly, I want to get up-to-date with the latest proceedings after 
being only physically but not mentally present in IRC :-)

I have made AxKit 5.8.0 clean, though it might require testing on 5.5. Commits 
follow these days when it runs fine for a few days.

I propose to do a last this-pipeline-system release as CVS contains quite 
important bug fixes, IMHO, when these patches are in.

After that, there are several options, and I'd like to hear your opinions:

a) Bump version to 2.0 (optional), make it a mod_perl 2 module only, 
incorporate Mike's pipeline. Backwards compatibility (for authors of 
stylesheets, documents, taglibs and httpd.conf fully, for providers/language 
modules only partially) is planned but might take some beta versions to 
ensure. This way, people can use mod_perl 1 with the last 1.x release which 
will be maintained for some time, but only for bug fixes. This way, people 
still have a choice, but we will have less work as maintaining 1.x should be 
fairly simple - only bug fixes are backported.

b) Merge the new pipeline like above into 1.x and begin developing a mod_perl 
2 capable version, keeping AxKit fully dual-version.

c) Make AxKit mod_perl 2 capable, do the pipeline stuff on a branch.

My personal favourite is a), since if we risk breaking things, we should risk 
it heavily ;-) I don't think we have the manpower for the messiness of b), 
and c) would slow down the new pipeline stuff too much, IMHO. Also, as the 
new pipelining needs good testing, and mod_perl 2 needs it, too, we get two 
for the price of one.
