What other packages inside the system might be impacted by changing the
httpd executable?

What shared libraries might needed to run the new version of httpd that
were built on the 6.1 tree and may not work without the other updates.

One package can not be built and pushed in a totally different tree and
then released.

It requires testing.

We are doing the best we can.
