What happens when there's a bug fix or security update that you need? Pinning versions also only works as long as you have no *other* modules that depend on a newer version of the apache module.
IMO the apache module should not be dropping support for an Apache release that is still widely used by several organizations. RHEL 6 End of Extended Life-cycle Support does not expire until November 30, 2020 and there are still customers deploying RHEL 6 systems *today* along with httpd version 2.2.
