[Fwd: svn commit: r413981 - in /httpd/httpd/dist: Announcement1.3.html
Announcement1.3.txt]
Question; it was fairly clear folks were fine with removing 1.3 binaries (still
hooking things up correctly as I type) for Win32.
It seems rational to drop Netware and OS2, but I'm not a stakeholder of either.
It's up to you maintainers if you feel we should keep shipping netware and OS2
Apache 1.3 binaries, or relegate them to the archvies.apache.org closet.
Thoughts?
