NO NO NO NO NO! Please do NOT HOLD up Apache 2.0 for multi-protocol!!! WE
HAVE to have an apache 2.0 out SOON!!!! I'm sorry, I feel very strongly about
this... :) While the idea of one server handling multiple protocols is an
interesting one (IIS has been able to handle HTTP and FTP for a long time
now), I'm not sure if this is really something that we want. IE if there's a
security bug in part of the core apache, boom suddenly not only our web server
but our FTP server are compromised... that's bad IMNSHO.

Subject: Re: Apache 2.0 for multi protocol usage
Various people have indeed various opinions. More then a year ago
Apache 2.0 already provided good capabilities for scaling. IMHO,
they should have released that already as a seperate version.
Even if it did not have so much other functionality over 1.3, like
filtering. It had enough good things and it would have showed
progress to the world. I believe since it already took so long,
people are willing to wait for the good and extra features
(if I may call the multiprotocol proposal a good feature).
