Speaking for myself, the major barrier to adoption for me is support by third party modules. What I mean by "support" is that the third party module has completed httpd v2.4 support, and has made a formal release of code with this support in place, and that code is stable. Further to that, the dependent modules must also be available as OS packages. It has been many years since I deployed naked "make install" code onto a box, formal packaging and the ability to roll forward and roll back is mandatory for me, and it has taken a while for these packages to appear.
