I don't understand. What do you mean by "this is up to the packagers"?

Is there a config option that decides this? If yes, let me ask this: what, if 
nothing is set?
Then there is no caching? What is used when someone calls the API 
ap_authn_cache_store? 

I'm sorry, but this makes no sense.
The defaults are in the code, aren't they? There should be something in the 
code like:

If on Linux and AuthnCacheSOCache not set, then use .

A default value is not something that is normaly chosen, and if it is, it 
should be at least explained how.

What about my 1st item? Misspelling of caching? How to fix it, who can fix it? 
Can I clone a repo
and create a pull request or do I have do work with svn?

We don't know the platforms' defaults.  They're up to the packagers,
and those sysops who make an active decision.

What you're asking is kind-of like asking us to concern ourselves
with the nuances of ext2/3/4 vs XFS vs JFS vs ZFS vs NTFS, etc.
We are agnostic.

Does anyone have any input on this? Or is this the wrong list for doc issues?
