mod_auth_digest Status in Documentation

[David Ward <da...@gtri.gatech.edu>]

In the documentation for mod_auth_digest, the "Status:" line for version 
2.0 reads "Experimental", while the same line for version 2.2 reads 
"Extension".  So it appears that this module is no longer considered 
experimental.

In the "Summary" block, though, the following statement has been left 
over from the documentation for previous versions:
"... However, it has not been extensively tested and is therefore marked 
experimental."

Since the module is not actually marked experimental anymore, can this 
statement be removed?

In my opinion, yes. And it *has* been extensively tested. That remark  
reflects the now-no-longer-true state that few browsers used to  
support Digest. They all do now, and lots of people use Digest in  
production environments.
