Agreed. I also think that the concept is a bad one as if our apache2 recipe is so far behind that the upstream has moved it to archived that things should break just to give us a kick in the pants to get on top of things and complete and uprev. So rather than mess around to paper this over I hope my original change can be merged to allow builds to complete and I will look to getting a review out for an uprev after the holidays.
