Yes - I see Python 2.3 / Mod Perl 5.8 / Apache 2.0 / APR 0.9 / etc all in the same 'generation' of code. Do you want the ASF to be a leader of this 'breakage' as the Python project was? This is why the push back. And I hope for Python 2.4 / Apache 2.2 / APR 2.0 / etc to all be of the next 'generation', finally adopting msvcr70.
