11 I disagree about removing the apache2 flag. The flag is not used to
12 select which version of apache to install (portage installs 2.0 by
13 default as it's the highest stable version), but for the modules that
14 can support apache-1.3 or apache-2.0. If the apache2 flag is not set,
15 and someone tries installing a module that supports both, the module
16 will depend on apache-1.3 (even if apache-2.0 is already installed) -
17 the modules uses the USE-flag to determine which version to depend on.
