Some distros, who package from the github repro, seem to include a2md, but I
have not yet heard any questions or feedback from anyone about it. We excluded
it in the httpd build as, if I remember correctly, no one was around to make
the cmake and Windows builds for it.
Looking back, I do not see the need to a2md any longer. All can and should be
configured in httpd's config files and information readout is available via the
common status handlers and mod_md's own JSON status handler.
Kind Regards,
Stefan
