Re: What would a mod_perl EOL look like?

sorry for so much top-posting, but that seems to be the flow in this 
forum. I also notice a lack of reply-to header or some other reason that 
a reply action is to sender rather than [email protected]... kind 
of annoying unless my MX is messing with the forum's headers.

OK... so an Apache Attic announcement is synonymous with EOL. Is that 
correct?

To quote from https://attic.apache.org/
" The Apache Attic was created in November 2008 
<http://www.apache.org/foundation/records/minutes/2008/board_minutes_2008_11_19.txt> 
to provide process and solutions to make it clear when an Apache project 
has reached its end of life."

To paraphrase... "the Apache Attic is not intended for bug fixes or 
releases"

I see processes for moving out of the Attic, but without active 
development, I assume that is unlikely.

Is that a reasonable summary?
