Because they seriously hork people's installations in some cases and cause lots |
| 12 |
of frustration. The improvements seem great, but they need to *work* out of the |
| 13 |
box for most situations which this doesn't appear to be doing. Testing is |
| 14 |
supposed to be for things that work and just need tweaking, not something that |
| 15 |
works for most cases and breaks other people's systems. For one, make your |
| 16 |
eclass backwards compatible so that mod plugins are easier to maintain. You're |
| 17 |
not reverting if you're saving a lot of people some pain. Why do you have to |
| 18 |
push all these improvements on the current stable line of apache (2.0.x) ? Why |
| 19 |
can't these changes just be used in the upcoming alpha/beta releases and totally |
| 20 |
be implemented by the time they move to the next stable release. Asking people |
| 21 |
to suddenly change midway through is a major pain. If they knew that these kinds |
| 22 |
of changes were going to happen in >2.0.x, then it would be easier for them to |
| 23 |
manage. |
