Yes, just like we have php4, apache1 and many more.

What for? ABI changes require next release, probably with some
transition scripting. It's not the case.

1. don't put UNTESTED stuff in main (like changing HTTPD_CONF to brand
new /etc/httpd/apache.conf, putting Deny from all in 10_common.conf and
triggering service restart by some application),
2. don't drop XYZ support (mv xyz xyzVER).

Nothing more. This situation is the same as in mysql a year or something
ago - changes in good direction, but without any reasonable upgrade
procedure; it didn't cope even with classical out-of-package
configuration. My apache 2.0 configuration was kosher either.
