When the ASF decides to stop security support for the 1.3 series.
Except if you plan to do that yourself then...

No idea how the ASF thinks about the future of Apache 1.3 (found no
kind of roadmap on httpd.apache.org), but I would expect that 1.3 will
die once and 2.x or later will continue.

You're right WRT to technical issues: If Apache 1.3 works and you
compile your own Apache, why bother?

Well it could enlarge the community of developers. But I guess that's
nothing important to aspire.
