Ok I accept it maybe it is ready for production use. Since Sapan has 
been so adamant on documented proof. Here is the article on which I was 
raving and ranting.

http://www.apacheweek.com/issues/02-02-08

I admit I should be checking more thoroughly before blabering. But if 
you read the complete article it specifically says 2.0.31 (I wonder how 
much changed between 2.0.31 and 2.0.35 - the version number suggest 
probably next to nothing) is in a alpha stage. From alpha to production 
ready in 2 months is something of a miracle I would have to admit 
considering the size of the project.

If you also read the section about stability of apache 2.0.31 it says

<qoute>
Another answer, however, is that the quality is taking so long to 
achieve because the codebase keeps getting destabilised. It seems as 
though basic underlying subsystems keep getting modified, frequently in 
a significant way, on a monthly if not weekly basis. Perturbations from 
these changes ripple through the rest of the server, and it often takes 
weeks for the last temblors to subside.

If you read my first reply I specifically said it is changing too much 
and too fast which was inspired by this particular article.

Uhh I never ever said apache is not a good product. I just said the 
latest version might need some more time to settle down before one goes 
for updating production servers. For testing purposes it probably was 
ready long time ago.

In any case I would like to appologize if anyone felt I implied apache 
wasnt a good software but I wouldnt recommend anyone to use 2.0.35 on a 
production server right now as in today.
