Perhaps you're not aware that the PHP build system currently still
supports building apache2handler SAPI for Apache 2.0 and 2.2 branches.
Apache 2.2 has been marked as EOL in December 2017 and doesn't receive
security patches. Also, most Linux distributions and packages mostly
support 2.4 as minimum by now.
In this pull request, support for Apache 2.0 and 2.2 is being removed:
In Autotools build system, there isn't much changed except the version
is checked, on Windows there will be configure option
--enable-apache2-2handler removed and --enable-apache2-4handler
becomes an alias of --enable-apache2handler configure option.
Let me know if you find any server that can't or hasn't been upgraded
to Apache 2.4 yet and if this should be postponed after PHP 8.4,
otherwise merge is on its way for PHP 8.4.

+1 from me, it's been EOL for almost 7 years and I strongly believe we shouldn't
keep supporting EOL software for long.

I am also in favour of removing support for this in PHP 8.4.
