I've not yet heard a convincing argument to move to apache 2.0 myself,
but I have heard a few horror stories. IIRC, Apache broke compatability
with things like mod_perl (very commonly used) and that might have
factored into Pat's feelings here.

idunno. apache 1.3.31 is included.
but since slackware-10.0 is not released yet, anything
could still change.

start with files ANNOUNCE.10_0 and RELEASE_NOTES,
from a slackware-current mirror.

Simple, Apache 1.3 is still the most used version so why put 2.0 in it?
If you want to use it build it yourself, same goes for kernel 2.6
It's not that hard to upgrade.

I've had annoyances with 2.0, ones that still stop me from making
the transition to 2.0. Things like directories containing .htaccess
files not displaying in index views, and AddDescription not
working for directories. Small things, but they accumulate. These
and other niggles may have been fixed now, but I've yet to see a
compelling reason to upgrade.

Simply put, Apache 2 is not ready for prime time yet.

I've tried it a few times, got burned each time.

I use Apache 2.0 on my home server, development server, and admin
server with no problems. Haven't yet switch the production server,
but want to.

Same here; I tried setting up an Apache 2.0 server a while ago and
migrating some of my websites over to it, but so many things didn't
work that I switched back to 1.3x. It's not like I do anything
particularly sophisticated or unusual either.

Correct. That's where I ran into trouble anyway.

SVN (subversion) requires something (forgot what) that's available
in Apache 2.0. And SVN seems to be a "better" CVS.
