Summary

On FreeBSD (and only on FreeBSD) apache::mod::info is loaded by default. I can discern no good reason for why this should be the case, and it's trivial to add if required.

That is a breaking change, but I am fine with it.

But I have a secret 😉 In my apache profile, I set default_mods => false and would recommend everybody doing this… That way you only load the modules you need and these defaults are not a big deal anymore.

By and large we're fine with the default modules, but I found an issue specifically with apache::mod::info where it interacts with other features leaving it wide open ignoring any IP ACL. I've sent a report to security@perforce.
