Is this an example of what you think it is?

I understood the above to mean that mod_dav_svn was written for an API
that didn't exist until Apache2. No Apache1->Apache2 compatibility
strategy could make code written specifically for Apache2 work in
Apache1. I mean, the point of release 2 is that it has new
stuff... If you depend on the new stuff, then you don't work with just
the old stuff.
