Randall Meyer ran into some pretty crippling issues with header_rewrite when
testing this RC. He filed
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-4993
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-4993>
And thinking about this some more, maybe this is a wider problem, see also for
example
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-4940
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-4940>
Even though TS-4940 can easily be worked around with the quotes, I don’t much
like because it adds unnecessary incompatibilities. In addition, the quoting
workaround Randall found on TS-4993 really makes no sense, since the leading /
in the regex is an operator specifier.
I’ll work more on this tomorrow, but I think this might be a show stopper for
this release (at least for us).

P.s
I think, but still not confirmed, that these issues were introduced with
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-4797
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-4797>
