If you don't use this new option, you still stay compatible, so I don't understand your complaints. If it hurt, don't use it, because it is nonstandard. > If you want to make changes like this then submit them to the Apache > team rather than embark on a FreeBSD/Apache.

I already submit this change to Apache group, the say that they will consider it. Apache development have very long period from version to version to wait. > These types of changes aren't "porting" patches and as such I don't > think they should be part of the ports structure. Like I said, if > you're interested in Apache development join the Apache development list. Porting process includes local enhancements too. -- Andrey A.
