Amusingly (at least to me), I happened upon an old post by Joel Spolsky from 
2002: 

http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/PickingShipDate.html

"For Systems With Millions of Customers and Millions of Integration Points, 
Prefer Rare Releases.  You can do it like Apache: one release at the beginning 
of the Internet Bubble, and one release at the end.  Perfect."

I personally think we have enough to release for users to chew on: 

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/new_features_2_4.html 

PHP should largely move to FastCGI, so module compatibility should not be a 
problem.  Any idea about other popular modules?  WSGI?  mod_perl?  Are they 
ready for HEAD?
