"The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) may stop releasing new
versions of the older 1.3 and 2.0 series of its flagship Web server
product with most development now focused on the 2.2 series.
"The Apache HTTP server project is one of the most successful
and popular (the most popular Web server on the Internet since
1996, say its makers) open source projects and has become an
integral part of the technology stack for thousands of Web and SaaS
applications.
"In a message to the Apache httpd developer mailing list, ASF
member Colm MacCárthaigh postulated the formal deprecation
of the 1.3.x branch, citing a lack of development activity.
"How about we formally deprecate the 1.3.x branch? Make one more
release, but attach a notice to the effect that it will be the
final release, and that in future we'll be distributing security
updates by other means," MacCárthaigh wrote."
