--- Comment #9 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
I remain unconvinced that there are any real world security benefits to be
gained by removing the security header.

The bandwidth argument carries slightly more weight but we are only talking 27
bytes per response and most responses will dwarf that by at least several
orders of magnitude. Add HTTP/2 to the mix and those 27 bytes will quickly
shrink.

If we do anything at all, I am leaning towards completely removing all Server
header processing (all ~15 lines of code of it) and let applications add it if
they wish. Users wanting to provide useful server version information via
configuration can enable the X-Powered-By header.
