I'm all for documenting and giving knobs to users who RTFM. My very strong preference is that we should do the "right thing" out of the box - and that is to use parallel updates - even against older servers. This has always been the behavior of ra_serf and it's definitely backwards compatible with all 1.x servers. If an admin doesn't like it (because of per-req authn or bad logging subsystems or the phase of the moon), they can try to direct 1.8+ clients away from parallel updates via the new directive/headers; but, we should not require any configurations to do the best generically recommended approach. -- justin
