The spec file for apache in the SVN is dated now, there was just no
demand for updating.

If there is enough interest in a webstack, then I believe there
will be some maintainers for the spec files.
So thank you for your examples and giving an idea for a lightwight
setup.

Your thoughts about large dependency chains, I think we could
try "optional" dependencies. So you install apache and only
install those optional packages like e.g.  openldap client
or php which are needed.
