Kyle Hamilton writes "The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are pleased to announce the release of version 1.3.42 of the Apache HTTP Server ('Apache'). This release is intended as the final release of version 1.3 of the Apache HTTP Server, which has reached end of life status There will be no more full releases of Apache HTTP Server 1.3. However, critical security updates may be made available."
We already have. Right away from Apache, even. (Score:1, Informative)
Many of us have moved away from Apache altogether. I mean, with lighttpd [lighttpd.net] and nginx [nginx.org] available, there's really little need for Apache these days.

A lot of commentors seem to think that this is the final release of Apache. It is not. This is the final release of Apache 1.3... Apache HTTP Servers 2.0 and 2.2 are still being maintained.
(As an aside, can somebody explain to me how I ended up with 15 mod points? I've never seen this before)

I know you're joking, but actually Apache 2.0 was released 10 years ago next month. I remember sitting in the audience at ApacheCon 2000 when they released it. Anyone who is still on 1.3 has been sitting on it for far too long.

This was obviously a joke. Slashdot is still run by a mess of perl scripts. They've yet to drag themselves into early last decade.
It seems you are both correct, slashdot is hosted by Apache 1.3.41 and perl:
