Oops, I missed that, sorry! Now, that you mention it I recall having seen something. However, I think that change should go to the release. It fixes a bug that can cause errors that are difficult to trace. Suppose a RPM/debian package provider builds a package for a mod_perl based module. He'll probably set APACHE_TEST_NO_STICKY_PREFERENCES to prevent ~/.apache-test/... to be written. Now, the module contains a t/TESTlib/something or so that uses Apache::Test itself. AT then is not aware of APACHE_TEST_NO_STICKY_PREFERENCES and tries to save the config. This may write ~/.apache-test/Apache/TestConfigData.pm or, worse, it may place Apache/TestConfigData.pm somewhere in @INC in the package being built. This may get through unnoticed and in the end the package contains a config that does not match the system. So, had I noticed I'd given you a -1 anyway.
