The major blocker for Debian was also the missing mod_perl. But the 2.4 release also happened at a somewhat unfortunate point of time in the Debian release cycle, so that it would have been a tight race to get 2.4 in shape in time for Debian 7.0. But right now Debian is frozen due to the (hopefully soon) release and no major changes are made in the unstable or testing branches. And since Ubuntu and all other derivative distributitions pull their packages from one of these two branches from Debian, none of them is getting 2.4 before Debian has released 7.0. At least not unless they invest significant time themselves to do the packaging and testing. > Ubuntu haven't adopted it yet: > http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=apache > > Of course the next question could be why have distros not adopted > 2.4, is it just a matter of time or are there other factors?
