But the fact that it is not Experimental anymore remains unchanged, would it be better to modify the Makefile to accurately reflect the status of this module? Also, I'm confused by other apache2 settings. "dav" and "ssl" also carry Extension status and get installed anyway when installing the port. Not a big deal as there is a nice WITHOUT_SSL option in the port's Makefile. But what about "dav"? I cannot find WITHOUT_DAV or something like that. This is different from the "default Apache install" (./configure && make install, I mean), anyone care to explain to me why is that? Why some modules are "beloved" and get installed by the port by default while others are left alone? Thanks.
