Yes, I should not have used to word 'released' itself, but I specified
"as v0.2 *Alpha*" which should be enough to indicate that it's only
for the first stage of the release process (as defined in the Apache
HTTP Server Release Guideline).

So how should I call it ? If it's not yet Alpha, how do you publish
the initial tarball that would eventually get the 3 +1 votes so it can
become Alpha ?

I was going to do that when I was told on #httpd-dev that it was
easier to drop it in my people.apache.org web space :

16:45:08 colmmacc | well, that gets mirrored, I'd use 
people.apache.org/~whatever/
16:45:17 colmmacc | that's what the cool kids have used lately ;-)

Anyway, if it is needed, I can create a mod_mbox subdir in /dev/dist
and put the tarballs in there. I was not really confident into
touching minotaur's DocumentRoot directory structure, that's why I
used this easier and safer solution.
