The shortest version I can give for in explanation us

- mod_perl2 is a new API compared to mod_perl1
- The implementation was kept in the same Apache:: namespace
- It was demonstrated that this caused some large long term problems
- Most were unfixable once mod_perl2 became "stable and supported"
- The most favoured solution was to move to Apache2::
- This would cause pain for early adopters (but only once)
- Final decision was to let early adopters "take the hit" now, to 
prevent the long term problems on the entire userbase.

Yes, it's a one time only change.
