All things considered, the gap between PHP5 and Apache2 is understandable. Killer features don't draw people, solutions to killer problems do. When using Apache-2.x offers a solution to a killer problem that Apache-1.3.x can't solve, that gap will close on its own. I can't imagine why anyone would want to tamper with this process, it has worked so well for so long. Best, Mike Robinson
