The modules needed for reading the docs were already toned down (dropped
mod_include dependency). The current set contains:
mod_setenvif, mod_alias, mod_negotiation and mod_mime, which are all base
modules and on nearly all servers installed.

However, the policy when to use the containers is not existing and I'd agre=
e
to drop all the <IfModule>s in the config (except MPM containers), since
they hide the error messages (heck, *I* missed it sometimes and was confuse=
d
that it didn't work).
But I believe, we need to discuss this on the dev list, I'm not sure what
the general opinion there is.
