Hi,
It is coming.

constructive comments welcome.
I don't think I will do that for Apache 2.2 because it expires at the
end
of the year.
I agree that there are problems with LoadModule lines in httpd.conf.
Because some modules add / remove or comment / uncomment lines in this
file making pkg upgrade painful. So I moved some 3rd party modules
configuration in to different included file to solve this issue.
But I am not sure I we really need to split httpd.conf in to 20, 30,
or more little files as proposed in comments in
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D7460
I disagree with "httpd.conf never gets changed by the user" - we are
always editing httpd.conf on all our servers. For example Listen to
listen only on specified IP, ServerAdmin, CustomLog format and couple
of Included *.conf files at the end of the httpd.conf
I cannot agree with splitting httpd.conf in to many small files.
Change like this was made for dovecot.conf (24 files in conf.d) and it
is lot of pain to find something in this mess or edit more than one
thing in one file.
I understand that machine (scripted) editing of one big file is worse
than deleting / replacing small files but for us humans one (or a few)
files are easily editable than tens of small files.
So... LoadModule can be extracted from httpd.conf (and nothing else).
I am not sure if it should be one file for all modules or separate
files for each module.

I plead with the people making this change to update apachectl to list
the modules that are loaded:
># apachectl modules
....
mod_perl ....
And when you update mod_perl and the U&*(()*&U httpd.conf file gets
mangled and the mod_perl line is removed or
commented out, you now stand a fighting chance of finding this. With
the change to itty-bitty files this would
be even more useful.
Just out of curiosity, how are you going to now deal with temporarily
commenting out LoadModule entries?
