Very good point. Myself using a ppa for my ubuntu server via
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/apache2/ubuntu trusty main
that updates very quickly. It already has 2.4.25. There are other people doing
this for various distros. The least we could do is document the ones we know,
talk to people how they see it continue. Offer a https place and visibility on
Apache servers maybe?
Does that make sense?
