This is great. I'm our "Apache guy", and 2.0 has been a non-starter. I can fairly easily keep up with the 1.3 changes, because it doesn't involve revision to our codebase, so we get the best of both worlds. What I think this arrangement would allow me to do is make local adjustments to our 2.1 codebase, and if they prove out in production, I can repackage them as a patch to 2.2. Right now, the likelihood that I'll contribute to the most current development tree is nil, because it's just too different from where most of my work is done. Excellent, scott
