What I like about 2.x is that the configuration file seems a little more
"sane" than before, and improved worker MPM.  The biggest feature 2.2
brings over 2.0 is the integration of AJP to the base, which I can
appreciate as an occasional Java hacker.

Personally, I would _love_ to see slash run on Apache 2.x.  It would
save me having to set up a second Apache installation just for slash.
With a single Apache, my primary box could handle the load I expect
(thanks to using worker rather than prefork).  With two, I probably need
to offload the 1.3 server to a different machine.  (I know, I know, get
a bigger box, but that just isn't in the cards right now.)  So at least
for me, the resource/performance angle of moving to 2.x would really
help.
