Well infra did recently slap all projects on their mirrored contents (/dist/tlp/) contents, and 1.3 is now available from archive.apache.org so httpd has done its part to clean that up. But no word that the resources we host (and are unmirrored) are a problem right now, so leaving these up for historical reference seems sane for now. The counterargument is that continuing to offer resources could give users some false sense of continuity. Hopefully the other changes to the httpd.a.o site will have a sufficient impact. If people have to figure out what their httpd 1.3 config had meant, while porting it to 2.x, this is a good resource to keep. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
