On httpd.apache.org is at 2.059:
The Apache HTTP Server Project is *proud* to announce the legacy...

At 1.3.37
The Apache Group is *pleased* to announce the legacy...

Is the project is still proud to announce 2.0.x ?

If you continued reading a few para's down...

We don't expect to be publishing simultaneous spam for the old flavors every
time we release the main version; essentially it propagates the idea that the
1.3 / 2.0 branches are actively developed and maintained.  We will likely fix
security flaws as they come up, but most of the time a single announcement
suffices.  (Oh, and check out the subject line too :)

We do *not* email three announcement messages anymore.  See the body of
the message which indicates 2.0.59 and 1.3.37 were released as well.
(I thought I just answered that question for you?)

This *one announcement message* was sent (as your reply-all indicated)
to bugtraq, full-disclosure, dev@httpd, announce@httpd, and announce@a.o.
