Only if we drop our "library ABI is compatible all the way back to 1.0" assertion. At the time Subversion 1.0 was released, I guarantee nobody built it against apr 1.3. If anybody even built it against apr 1.0, I'll be surprised. I don't really have a horse in this race - as Debian maintainer I switched from apr 0.9 to 1.2 long ago (in such a way as to honor Debian's own commitment to only change ABIs under strict procedures that do not require a recompile-every-consumer flag day). But if we still want to say we support binary compatibility that far back, well, we can't drop support for apr 0.9. Peter
