| Quote from Jim R: 
 Most work on the the next-gen version of Apache httpd version 2.4 has been done in improving performance and stability, but as well as adding lots of useful features, especially as we see the demands placed on web servers by cloud environments. This means that the (reverse) proxy module had gotten a lot of special care and attention. But there are also modules to help with more fine-grained control over timeouts and even a basic bandwidth limiting module bundled in.
 
 With the current 2.3.x beta releases and the coming of Apache httpd 2.4 GA, you'll see the popularity and usage of Apache increase even more, as it becomes the web server for the cloud, bar none.

| That was backported in time for 2.2.18, so it's not just 2.3. |  |
