I don't think that reasoning makes sense... i.e. just because they are
modules doesn't mean they must have the same stability as apache.

For example if you include mod_security 2.1.3, it is in theory
possible that mod_security 2.1.4 could be completely incompatible
with the rules supported by 2.1.3.

(In practice we know from the earlier thread that the intent is to
keep it compatible, which is great.)

Instead of the above text in s.5.1, the case should have a summary (a
short paragraph for each of the 3 modules should be good) of the
earlier posts here describing the intended compatibility story for
these 3 modules, so it gets recorded in the ARC case.

Those 2 don't seem correct. 2001/175 calls the API "Standard" and
looks like in 2000/362 the public APIs are "Evolving".
