So, what's the general attitude about backward compatibility? I
rely on $r->connection->remote_ip and although I can update my code
quite easily (although I have many modules that will need updating) I
now have to use a conditional if I want to use the same code across
two different Apache 2 HTTPd server versions? I'm not keen about
this, especially if it's going to mean I'm going to have to do this
with other subroutines as well.
Why not leave "remote_ip" in place, and just document the preferred
"client_ip" subroutine as "future direction," then switch over to it
when Apache 3 (and presumably ModPerl 3) comes onto the scene?
Major changes from ModPerl 1 to ModPerl 2 were understandable, but
removing (even if due to renaming) within the same version is
something that seems questionable to me, partly because it will break
existing code.
