I assume we're talking Apache 1.x here as opposed to Apache 2 ?

<snipped the rest>

I have no objection to moving forward in a way that keeps things simple for
the developers.  As long as the system is architechurally elegant, the
source code is not unreadable and the server performance doesn't live up to
the "Brian the Snail" name.  

KISS is afteralla solid principle.

The only thought I have is that the Apache propject have moved towards a
multi-threaded design rather than a multi-process design in Apache 2.0
(although it is configurable).  The aim being to improve performance (this
improvement is most visable on Windows).  I believe the trade off though is
not massively significant in our case.  Afterall Apache did very well for
several years prior to the new release!
