+1

for *at least* the next few months, long-term pain is minimized by
getting the API right as long as it doesn't require a drastic rewrite
of the module

as time goes on (more modules ported to 2.0, more people following 2.0
releases closely), pain to the community (including us) of changing
the API goes up so the threshhold for what justifies an API change
goes up too

and we shouldn't forget that the APR API affects Apache module authors
too, and that API is probably going to change leading up to APR 1.0
(function renames for one thing)
