Yes, DAV is bundled with Apache2, but Apache2 is deployed on even less sites than mod_dav. When, if ever, someone fixes all the 3rd party libs on UNIX to be threadsafe and someone adds something to Apache2 that is actually a compelling reason to migrate, then we might start seeing more widespread deployment. I guess my point is that there is no rush on this one. Skip it for 4.3. -Rasmus
