    P.S.: Isnt it about time to rename exim4 to exim?

    Or apache2 to apache?

    The ASF is responsible for a lot more than httpd now, and is also
    (gradually) moving away from using the Apache name, so if that package
    is to be renamed then something like "asf-httpd" would be better.

    There's another name the Apache Software Foundation is NOT moving away
    from at any speed, and seems determined to hang on to like grim death.

    ...which makes sense since what they're clinging to is a corpse.

    So how about openoffice-httpd?

    I personally care more about what people call it instead of what their
    makes want it to be called (especiall if _that_ changes twice a year).
    So, apache it would be for me.
