He added that the vast majority of modules do not require any changes to run under 2.4; they just need to be re-compiled and then the work is done.


That has not been my experience. I can name a few that have been broken by 2.4.

mod_security (twice)
mod_macro
mod_antiloris
mod_limitipconn
mod_auth_sspi
mod_perl seems borked as well.

most likely any module that get's informatiion from the scoreboard, deals with Authorization or uses log hooks is broken.

However, a couple modules that are no longer needed are
mod_rpaf (as far as I know via mod_remoteip)
mod_bw (replaced by mod_ratelimit)

A couple of modules have been, or *will be folded into to 2.4 in the near future are
*mod_fcgid
mod_proxy_html
mod_sed
mod_xml2enc
