I think this release should be on hold until the patch that has been available 
for 5 years made it into the code base.

While the main devs are happy with svn, most other devs prefer git and PRs for 
development. In this regard httpd and apr/apr-util make it rather complicated 
to actually contribute. This is my personal opinion. I don't want to start a 
flame war here. I just wanted to express my opinion.

However, the fact that someone has been trying to get something merged for 5 
years, let me please say that again, for 5 years, is a joke.

Anyone who is responsible for this project should be ashamed.

I understand that SW projects all have differrent styles, rules and cadence, 
but this is just not acceptable.

It's not that there is an apr-util release every 6 weeks.

I have thought long and hard, whether I should even voice my opinion, but I 
think it is important that you get some honest feedback.

Sorry, if I sounded harsh and offended anyone.

Cheers,
   K. C.
