Hrm. I don't know anything about it. Stas might (but he's off travelling the 
world at the moment).

There's a few non-rename related fixes, but otherwise no, it's not a big 
change. (Though moving it to the Apache2 namespace might make sense at this 
point).

I'm not sure if it makes sense to have it in Apache2::Connection, as the 
WorkerScore is process/thread based rather than connection based. (It does 
have connection specific information in it, but it also has more long lived 
data).

It should be relatively easy to add such to Apache::Scoreboard though.
