According to the release notes, 2 binary rpm packages were released 
(both mod_ssl and httpd) for all FL platforms except rh73.

What I am trying to say is this:

I try very hard to contribute what I can to Fedora Legacy.  Yet despite 
my best efforts I find it amazingly difficult to do anything other than 
simply testing released packages.  I try to stay on top of server 
related issues pertaining to RH7.3, things exactly like mod_ssl and 
htttpd.  Yet this particular issue stayed buried out of sight (again, 
someone please show me some recent discussion or non-hidden notes 
regarding this).

Rather than continuing to poke this fire, I am going to (once again) ask 
all those involved to help make the process saner and clearer so that 
those that want to help will be able to help.  Don't hide below the 
radar and then complain in other threads that people aren't contributing.
