IMHO, the best thing to do here is to mark the apache2filter as
experimental (either by renaming some directories or putting it
in the release notes), but by all means don't remove it from the
distribution. I'm currently trying to track down a couple problems in
the filter that were reported to me, but I can't find all the bugs on
my own. The best way to find those edge cases is by getting user exposure.

Just my 2c,
