Dude, they just backported the fix to the 1.3.24 version. They didn't write the
patch, the Apache foundation did. They don't package the latest bleeding edge
code from anyone unless it has been thoroughly tested to run on production
machines.

I think you are way over exaggerating. I've installed all sorts of 3rd party
software on Redhat. Some from source, some from srpms, but most are binary
packages from redhat. I've never had a problem save for the package
dependencies. Which if you know what your looking for isn't that hard to figure
out.
