The following open issues (detailed in 
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=153703) were discussed:
OPEN: Support for concurrent versions on disk
OPEN: libexec location vs. apxs

[b]OPEN Support for concurrent versions on disk[/b]
Given the compatibility guidelines from the upstream community, it's agreed 
that we should support having the provision to carry at most one one additional 
version for apache2 (i.e. provision for a 2.4.x version concurrently with 
2.2.x). It was also felt there would be no reason to have the complexity of 
multiple micro versions within a minor version (i.e. a future 2.2.8 release 
should replace 2.2.6). While the upstream community seem to provide the binary 
compatibility acorss such micro version releases, this project team will test 
the next micro release and participate in the upstream community to ensure such 
a binary compatibility is preserved.

[b]OPEN: libexec location vs. apxs[/b]

I believe the consensus is to modify apxs -i to write elsewhere, in a location 
suitable for per-user/per-zone write access, such as /var/apache2 (the default 
shared libraries (mod_* binaries) in /usr/apache2/libexec/).

Please make any corrections if I don't have this captured right. 

[There were a number of comments/issues discussed e.g. the need for making it a 
real simpel for a developer to manage the default stack, as opposed to 
potentially complex scenario of having multiple versions to go through.]
