Haiku is an active project that aims to be a spiritual successor of BeOS.

Haiku does not use the Linux kernel [1].

There are APR [2], httpd [3], Serf [4], and Subversion [5] packages for
Haiku.

the BeOS support code in APR. It also isn't obvious whom to contact to ask.
I recommend not to remove this code until we can find out more.
