| So do you feel mod_jk Uncommitted is correct given the above?

what do you suggest? Do you think it should be volatile?

| To review, Uncommitted means it'll stay compatible during a given
| minor release:
| http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/policies/interface-taxonomy/
| 
| In other words, when a Solaris 11 (or equivalent) containing these
| modules goes out, the interfaces of the module will be compatible for
| the life of Solaris 11.
| 
| If a future mod_jk 1.2.x ends up being incompatible, it won't be
| appropriate to update anymore, so if there are critical bug fixes
| you'll have to fork and maintain a compatible version locally. Never fun.

| 
| In the last sentence do you mean "across any two [major] releases"?
| i.e. no guarantee that 3.* is compatible with 2.*? That's reasonable.

yes.
