We can change the minimum required version of APR any time we want, really. Our API versioning guidelines aren't /that/ set in stone. Sure, we'd have to announce that we plan to stop supporting apr-0.9.x long enough in advance, but since we already "support" two different ABIs, that's the same as saying we picked one ABI over another. Once we're down that road, we can pick, e.g., 1.3 instead of the latest release, and go with that. For something like the filehandle cache, which is not a functional requirement, we can then use it if APR has it, or just not use it if it doesn't. -- Brane
