My view:
It should happen only after 3.3 (and 4.0) is released, switching to APR is
reasonably easy ( IMHO ), adding warp protocol is doable ( but require
some changes in the request representation to use the same struct as the other
jk modules ).
Integrating WARP and AJP14 seems easy ( technically - there are many
common things ), but it'll require some 'negotiation' - and I hope some
real community involvment.
Refactoring/cleaning of jk - one part will be done by the move to APR
( of course ), there are some optimizations and improvements in the jni
connector I am planning ( also after APR is in ), and some of the webapp
API ( and docs :-) could also help a lot.
And of course, I'm happy to see both Pier and Henri are open.
