Having just recently upgraded the site to Apache 2.2.x and mod_perl 2, it made me want to kick things, hard, when paulej72 noticed this little gem earlier this morning in mod_perl 2.0.9's changelog:
Add support for Apache httpd-2.4.x. [Torsten Foertsch, Jan Kaluza, Steve Hay, Gozer]
Awesome work, guys, but couldn't you have done this a month ago? You know, before NCommander and the rest of us put all that work into getting the site running on 2.2.x?

mod_perl 2.0.9 would do little by itself for our site. What it should allow us to do is upgrade from Apache 2.2x to Apache 2.4x which should future proof the site for a greater time. The Apache 2.2 branch is slow becoming old school and will at some point be unsupported. Our servers' OS (Ubuntu 14_04) uses Apache 2.4 as the default version, so we need to roll our own version to support rehash. It would be possible to switch to distro Apache if we wanted to, but we will probably keep the separate version just to keep the OS from causing problems with our build.
