Of course we want to keep its history. Otherwise it would be hard to determine
when certain changes came in and why.

This is a very good point. I think if there would have been interest and
capacity
in the community it would be in much more active development. To be honest from
a
development point of view it is kind of dead.
Before we move it into httpd we should see much more development there.
Given the current load of the community caused by AI generated reports I
would advice to do an AI crosschecking first before we move it to httpd and
especially
before backporting it.
Long story short: I am currently also -1 on this (vote, not veto). This likely
changes
once we see more activity.
