As to why in stable... This wasn't a major change. It doesn't change the build output, and enabled a new way to build which I and at least some others think is important. That is, I think that--particularly for the stable tree--we should stop building apr as if it were part of httpd and use stable releases of apr. This is a step in that direction.
That said, I agree it should have waited so as to let other people give it a whirl. My bad. Bad Fred.

Why does the stable tree need this? Why can't we wait more than a few hours to merge such extensive changes into the stable tree?At the moment it looks like we're at an impasse on whether or not to review before merging back to stable, but the very least people can do when it is not a trivial change, particularly for build issues, is wait a while to to see what blows up.
