sorry for so much top-posting, but that seems to be the flow in this
forum. I also notice a lack of reply-to header or some other reason that
a reply action is to sender rather than modperl@perl.apache.org... kind
of annoying unless my MX is messing with the forum's headers.
OK... so an Apache Attic announcement is synonymous with EOL. Is that
correct?
To quote from https://attic.apache.org/
" The Apache Attic was created in November 2008
<http://www.apache.org/foundation/records/minutes/2008/board_minutes_2008_11_19.txt>
to provide process and solutions to make it clear when an Apache project
has reached its end of life."
To paraphrase... "the Apache Attic is not intended for bug fixes or
releases"
I see processes for moving out of the Attic, but without active
development, I assume that is unlikely.
Is that a reasonable summary?

If you go back to Sander's original email, he outlines what will
happen if we can't staff the PMC sufficiently to meet Apache's
guidelines. The project woudl go to the attic[1]. There are lots of
projects in the Attic. Some of them have been forked and continue to
have development done on them. At any rate, there will be some notice,
though probably not years of notice, and the source code absolutely
will not 'suddenly disappear'. I'd suggest following the link below
and reading about what the attic is, and what it would mean to get
more context if you're interested in more detail.

Quoting Jim Albert <j...@netrition.com>:
When mod_perl does come to an end what would an End of Life look like?
I'm told mod_perl is an Apache Software Foundation project. Do Apache
Software Foundation projects have a structured life cycle or do some
just suddenly disappear with no warning given various situations that
result in the need for EOL?
