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 got 10 or 15 mod points a few times. I have no idea how or why. Since the last site update, I'm getting mod points much less frequently as well, although I think my karma is the same.
I think it's because I tend to comment in bursts - nothing for a week, then 2 or 3 at a time, and then only when I have something useful to say. Except for the odd sarcastic or joking comment, or if I'm heavily medicated.
Plus I don't log in all that much, so when I do I have like 3 comments all at +5, or something like that, and bingo 15 mods.

It seems to me (warning: this is an anecdote, not data) that if you are on the site long enough you'll start getting 15 mod points regularly (I get 15 mod points once or twice a week and I don't actually comment all that much, maybe once a week). Course my ID is a low 5 digits which probably helps.
You've gotten better karma which gives more mod points it seems. I've been getting 15 points for some time now. Comically, I just logged in to tell you this and noticed I've gotten another allotment of points:)
For quite awhile I was getting 10 and 15 points, but after burning some karma defending things the SlashDot hivemind dislikes, I'm back to getting only 5. I'm glad. Now I don't feel like I'm wasting so many points all the time as even now I usually have 1-2 expire.

I have (briefly) had 25 mod points, but after using a couple they dropped back to 15.

You probably deserve them for being as kind as to point out that the apache HTTP server isn't finished... :)

15 points? Karma whoring really pays off I suppose.

I regularly get either 5 or 15, usually 15.

My karma is stratospheric, but I receive mod points infrequently, and in bunches of five.
