Hello,

The other day I was checking CIS benchmark regarding apache httpd.

Among some other old-fashioned recommendations I see they still 
recommend dated directives like Limit or LimitExcept over 
mod_allowmethods AllowMethods directive which they refer to secondarily 
and as "experimental".

Checking the docs, it still says Status: Experimental in: 
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_allowmethods.html as well as 
in trunk: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_allowmethods.html

Is there a reason why it is stil refered to as experimental in the docs 
and not just plainly the actual recommendation to set allowed methods in 
Apache HTTPD actually?

Cheers
