In a few months we are going to be getting RHEL 7, probably in the first
quarter of 2014. They are branching that release off Fedora 19. I know
this much may not concern you people, but they are going to have httpd
2.4. I really think that the argument that is presented there is quite
awful. 

If anything we should have an apache22 package to let people keep using
that version of apache, and then have our apache package be the very
latest version (possibly have it provide apache24).

Thanks,
