This is all quite difficult to parse for me.

Is your user saying that loading mod_md blocks some mode of operation
of an external acme client?  By handling request for /.well-known?

I don't think such a thing impacts the release vote or structure
unless it's a regression of using the two things together, and there's
no implication that it is.

After all, mod_md is optional, and its primary role is certificates
via ACME.  I don't see the dilemma, so maybe I am misinterpreting

Spelling out whatever requirement or concern in at the root of this,
in more precise detail, is probably the only way it will move forward.
