Hi Ronnie,

good questions that make me critically examine what I did. 

First of all, we can still tag the code in trunk to follow your suggestion, if
we deem it as a good course of action. I would consider the possibility and,
in case, tag it before new commits happen.

Second reason: since a 1_0 branch has existed now for quite a long time I
assumed this was a policy D-D had decided sometime in the past. Admittedly I
had to ask explicitly. 

The third reason is that we still can copy further developments from trunk
into 2_0 at will, as long as we think they won't break anything. I expect
trunk to diverge from 2_0 though, at least we have to keep the possibility
open. Sooner or later the support for apache 1.x will be dropped in trunk
making room for support of new apache versions, whereas I think of the 2_0
branch as something that will maintain the apache 1 code even though we will
make fixes, adjustments and improvements on it. Unlike in the typical example
for a branch I don't see 2_0 as a branch that will join in the future the
development in trunk.

I hope I passed the exam. :-)

regards
