Ermm.  No, you are not forced.  You have the same option as always, that
is -not- to update the package.  

I have this sense that people overabuse the "world" target :-/

if you had followed the announcement as well as the following and
initiating discussion you'd have noticed that apache-2.x did make it
into stable gentoo, but that we do not force 1.3, and that apache 1.3
series will remain in the tree as well as be interoperable and
maintained.

No, We dont force you to upgrade.  Upgrading is a choice users make.
