nowhere in here do we we use the word legacy or maintenance or

because it is not NOT "actively supported software". :)
Are you suggesting that Apache 1.3 is not universally accepted on
this list
as being at best a maintenance branch? The last release 1.3.35
definately
proves that it's barely that, irrespective of who/how the patch was
adopted,
the candidate was clearly marginally tested - although the *entire*
community
had an opportunity to test the candidate.
What I'm saying is that there is a BIG difference between
actively *supported* and actively *developed*. As far
as I'm concerned, we still support 1.3.x, for our
huge install base of legacy users.
Yes, we should encourage people to move up to 2.2.x,
but we shouldn't do so by misleading them that we no
longer support 1.3.
