Re: Why we don’t like PHP /

OpenSource being what it is (e.g.: "get your finger out"), it seems to me like we will get stable Apache 2 support when someone knowledgeable in the Apache 2 guts sits down and does the work. We don't have any resident Apache 2 experts (e.g.: we've established that 1.3 works fine for us in our busy professional lives), and the two Apache guys that offered to do the work haven't been around lately (fair play; everyone has plenty of other things to do with their free time). If a senior/knowledgeable Apache guy wants to moan about FUD, perhaps he could divert his efforts into making it work, rather than contributing to bad-vibe-slime (queue walking Statue of Liberty and feel-good music). --Wez. PS: that last paragraph is supposed to be funny, not bitchy.
