I don't like the idea of the apache2 use flag, because apache2 is masked and so an emerge -up world will no longer work. I would prefer to remove the apache2 use-flag completly, though it's only used by one ebuild. Instead this ebuild (mod_php) should use the has-version=net-www/apache-2* method.bu

i really dont care what happens to it.

what are they supposed to do when Joe Schmoe has _both_
Apache-1 and Apache-2 installed?  is the mod_php ebuild
supposed to roll a dice and guess which one to build the
DSO for?

At least if they said USE=apache2 then they know they're
supposed to get a DSO for Apache2.

But again, I guess I dont really care who decides what
this is not my area of interest.  I care that the DSO
loads easily and works with the web server.  As far as
political ebuild coding design decisions, I realy
couldnt care less.  Somebody else can decide.

apache2 is masked for testing ...
ebuilds need to decide whether to support apache1 or apache2 ...

like donnie said, you cant just randomly decide which one to support ...
so if the user wants apache2, then they'll have to handle it themselves for now ... portage support for SLOT only upgrades is coming, but until then, the state of the apache2 flag wont change
