No, not "beta" but fully supported.  I might add that Apache 2.0.18 is
available
in V4R5 via PTF.  We also plan to keep as up-to-date as possible with newer
releases of Apache 2.0 as they come out.  There may be some delay between
the
release of a tarball from Apache and our release of that same level of
code.
But we plan to keep that to a minimum.

We are working on getting stuff back into the original code base.  In the
long
run, it will make our lives simpler too.
