I tend to agree with NOT shipping 1.3.
My issue is mainly that the stable branch should be just that - stable
and boring. Fix bugs, add new features that doesn't conflict with
existing ones, but try the damnest to avoid changes that might mess
upp things more than needed.
If we want to be adventurous I'd prefer wrapping up what's in httpd
trunk as 2.4 and ship that with 1.3 so we have a separate bucket of
worms to fight with.
That said, we have the issue with people thinking that all major
releases will be perpetually supported and thus avoids upgrading to a
new major version. I recall this was discussed rather recently, but my
personal view is that 1.3 and 2.0 really should be in
securityfix-only-mode by now.
Looking at 2.0 and 2.2 I think that there tends to be too much that
changes in those stable releases at times, getting us in the not so
funny "every release is broken somehow" cycle...
