RedHat are pretty staunch about not certifying any package outside their 
normal process, I am not aware of any that have been prioritized 
although I imagine that if enough users demanded it, they might consider 
doing so, but with a major package like httpd the possibility is dubious.

Changing a package like httpd could break a lot of their clients' 
servers, and that is simply unacceptable to a company that makes all of 
its income on support contracts. Even the necessary security backport 
updates are carefully scrutinized and tested to make sure that any 
problems resulting from the change are minimized.

I wouldn't even know how to approach making such a request, it certainly 
would not go in Bugzilla.

Out of curiosity, what feature is it that you want to have from the 
newer, uncertified (by RedHat) version of Apache?

Cheers,
