Agreed.  February reports that both 1.3.33 and 2.0.53 are proving
sufficiently stable, ~90% push forward, ~10% fall back.  Of course
some users will encounter trouble and fall back to regroup.  Some
number less than 1 in 10 reassures me that the httpd project mostly
is moving forward.

I never look at the overall numbers, or number of adopters of any
given module.  Only looking for trends against the exact latest 
release we've shipped.
