But it is worthless until we define an OC that someone can use to develop
apps (not especially httpd, but that is a good case study.)  OC is a fairly
reasonable need within a subset of service-type, robust applications.

My plan is to tag 0.9.2.  Roll it.  Tag 2.0.45 (using 0.9.2) and roll the httpd 
release.  I think that would keep everyone happy.

Well another APR committer needs to step up, but I think we all benefit
by dealing with this now, even if the release takes a few extra days.

Damned straight.

Sure, if an old module used OC they might have unexpected results (just
like 2.0.44's access log failures were unexpected.)  I expect we will rename
and deprecate some function names and add some new accessors to make
this really portable.  But existing code won't be 'broken', it will just 
function
as badly as it did before :-)
