The only bit that causes problems is introducing/rearchitecting modules, such as the auth stuff. Yes, incremental changes could go into 2.0.x, but dropping out a module [such as splitting mod_auth in two] or the apr_file_t member of the request rec are really significant enough to warrent the 2.1 bump. The splitting-a-module means their old config files are [probably] broken. For the user's sanity, a 2.1 bump makes sense. The apr_file_t member means modules must be recrafted to pay attention to this open file handle. I think the _real_ benefit is to split out the filesystem as it's own module, much like mod_dav_fs. In any case, plenty of folks regularly complain that their suggestions are ignored, or are discussed and just drop. That isn't a good way to attract contributors. ROADMAP allows us to do some planing/architecting into the future, beyond the event horizion. I'm really beginning to believe that nayoga's bugzilla might be [part of] the answer to the headaches.
