Hi folks, three votes here:

1. We had a roll call back in 2024 for libapreq2 [1], and there was 
little-to-no support to continue development by this project. I propose 
we officially retire libapreq2, moving libapreq2 releases to the 
archive. This will remove project obligations to handle security 
reports, which is a burden on our limited time.

2. The merged apreq is also removed from httpd trunk; removing 
server/apreq*.c, include/apreq*.h and modules/apreq.

3. The Perl test framework https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/test/framework/ 
is moved to Git read/write master, and development continues at GitHub.

I am +1 on all three.

Regards, Joe
