They all run Apache code -- they just tweaked it a bit (or a lot).
Akamai would be interesting, since it is (or was) based on a
different source.

In any case, the extension feature is entirely dependent on
universal support for interop.  If it doesn't work, and nobody
has used in in 15 years, then it is safer to deprecate it.

I have been trying to get the last issues done all week, but
other people keep interrupting me.  Maybe today.
