I am soon about to upgrade to apache 2.4.x. However after searching, it seems to me that mod_evasive is not compatble with apache 2.4.x - can anybody confirm that?

Here is the official mod_evasive page: http://www.zdziarski.com/blog/?page_id=442

I found this wich seems to be a fix to make it work on apache 2.4.x: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.extras.cvs/754632 - because it is Fedora, maybe it would work on CentOS too, I don't know.

I wonder what everybody else does when upgrading to apache 2.4.x? Do you remove mod_evasive? I am currently running apache 2.2.23 and CSF and mod_evasive. I am thinking that I might not really need mod_evasive, maybe it is enough with CSF?
 
I did not test if mod_evasive was compatible with apache 2.4.x or not, instead I removed mod_evasive from my servers. I don't miss it, I suspect it was having some false/positive too, so I feel it is better not using it.
 
I have not replaced mod_evasive with anything. I manage fine without it, don't feel like I need it. Only running CSF/LFD, Maldet and ClamAV.
