Even if true that almost no one uses it, a clue leads to something.   
What is your clue leading to?  A flaw in Apache 1.x we should be aware  
of?

Can you give me a reason why we would?  No person has ever given me a  
serious reason why we should use Apache 2, other than what you did:  
everyone else does it.  It would take significant resources, for no  
significant benefit, so we haven't bothered.

Exactly: there's no significant benefit to going to Apache 2.x.

MySQL has never eaten our data, silently or otherwise.  And we have  
quite a bit of data.
