I've scanned through this and find it quite immature for such a serious subject. Point #1 about static linking is plain stupid. According to it even if I use my own library in my own five front-end modules, I'll link it statically five times? And If I have gazillion pieces linked against OpenSSL 0.9.7a, then 0.9.7b comes out and fixes a "very important bug", I have to *rebuild everything* because I want to be secure?! Or I'd be required to link into Apache all three hundred (OK, maybe it's more like thirty) modules I'm using? I will never buy that. Dynamic linking is not evil, but one has to know how to deal with it.
Point #4 doesn't deal with installations directly, and looks more like a personal complaint of a person who has been burnt with upgrade issues, but not too hard. I wish "firewall-incpmpatible blah-blah" resolved all upgrade problems :-(...
FWIW, I didn't enjoy it :-)
