Not sure if I'm missing something here... apache and its mod_* modules
are present (I assume) in most distros ( == "vendors"?) but I don't
know of pre-built "vendor packages" that comprise the server
configured in different ways. I'd agree that if I wanted to install
something new on a system, let's say nagios as an example, then there
is a package available (on ubuntu, at least) so there'd be no need to
download+configure+make+install in that case, one would just use your
pkgmgr of choice. But I don't see how that applies to an apache config
issue.
Of course the alternative answer is "Yes ... laziness, impatience and
hubris" B-)
