That is part of what I'd like to learn Monday if any active distro or packaging people are at the ApacheCon Hackathon. I also wonder if this would have been different if the httpd project had offered an rpm or apt-get packages, for example? It seems like there will always be a significant lag between a new major.minor release and seeing it injected into the major distributions.
