Silly me. I thought that Apache 2.0 would use APR 0.9.x and Apache >= 2.1 would switch to APR 1.0.
There was a thread a few weeks ago where we realized that this would be impracticable. If httpd 2.0 only used APR 0.9.1-dev (say), then a lot of applications want to be compatible with httpd 2.0 (say modules). Therefore, they want a stable APR release that works with httpd 2.0 above all else. If we abandon APR 0.9.1 and move to 1.0, then we're abandoning them.
Therefore, what we have right now must be APR 1.0. Any changes going forward *must* be APR 2.0 only. We can't drop deprecated functions in APR 1.0 nor can we alter function signatures in APR 1.0 from what we have right now.
We've already started 2.0, but we just haven't admitted it. -- justin
