Hi,<div><br></div><div>Not wishing to get involved in arguments, but an LTS is just that. As apache is the major market of hhtp [1] it is imprortant for LTS that it will be able to be supported for five years. This would not be possible with apache1.</div>

I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 LTS today, and the upgrade procedure installed Apache2 onto my box, even though I have had it autoremoved for a long time.<br>
It also did this on another server I upgraded, and that server runs lighttpd too!<br>

Why do you do this, Ubuntu developers? Apache2 isn't required for an Ubuntu install, and heck, it SHOULDN'T be in a default install. If a user wants to run a httpd, they can install it themselves.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
