These are more best practises and aren't part oaf the packaging guidelines except as a reference but maintainers have to ultimately make their own decisions. If you find major deviations from upstream, it is useful to talk to the maintainers and understand why.
Off course, you talk about "maintainers have to ultimately make their own decisions." but forbidden this right for the Fedora users who want use mpm-itk for example??

But why you are not consider Steinar H. Gunderson as upstream amintainer of apache mpm-itk???

This is a patchset for upstream.
In other words, if I (or any other) make "Apache fork", copy it source, patch with this patch and pack in separate source tarball on separate URL (on Sourceforge or any else) you are accept such package into Fedora???


In any case, as maintainer of package I take care about maintenance load by this rpm. As I remember, it had not any urgent issues with adaptation to current releases of apache for the past year or even more.

P.S. I'm write mail to Steinar H. Gunderson with question why it is not in upstream...

Yes, that is the key question to get an answer for.
Whereas you missing note about low maintenance load I agree - it is main question.
So, I get answer - apache upstream don't want it, mainly out of
worries around the server running as root until it has processed the request header.

Eventually even in this discussion none of equal by efficient solution was be suggested (Solutions by proxy requests on other instances of apache initially was be admitted by author as very slow)!


And one more. I asked Steinar H. Gunderson and He assure me what he planed maintain this patch in the future (again actual question about fork).
