IIRC the referer logging module for example.
i wasn't allowed to deprecate mod_log_referer and mod_log_agent until mod_log_config was able to provide equivalent functionality. what bothers me about this whole mess is that i don't understand how other projects manage to have two active streams, stable and development. i haven't participated in any that did, so how they accomplish it without all the backward/forward porting pain we always have mystifies me. we really need to come up with a set of guidelines and methodology for this stuff, since we keep repeating the same discussion again and again and again. -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!"
