I am still worried that we are underestimating the pain that this will
cause. In my opinion, a config change that requires substantial
changes to every httpd.conf and many .htaccess files requires a major
version bump (to 3.0) unless it can, in some way, be made seamless to
the end user. And there is no way to deny that this will put a large
roadblock in the way of upgraders.
It isn't just your opinion -- incompatible configuration changes
means third-parties have to change their source code, which means a
major version bump is required. So either somebody gets busy on
implementing backward-compatibility or this stuff gets bumped to 3.x.
We could decide that the next release will be 3.0, but I doubt it.
