Comment 8 for bug 1197884

Since this is fixed in Saucy, I'm marking this bug as Fix Released. If you want PFS in an official Ubuntu release, use Ubuntu 13.10.

I understand that some of you want this feature backported to 12.04. That's fine, but this is a considerable amount of work and I don't think it falls under the Ubuntu "LTS" remit. If somebody wants to backport Apache 2.4 and make it available in 12.04, please do so - see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports for the process. Or alternatively, publish and maintain a third party PPA and announce it here.

Backports and PPAs are the acceptable options here. We do not backport features to LTS releases. That's why they're LTS - because you expect them to be stable and not introduce unnecessary regressions. You may want PFS added, but others don't want their production systems running on LTS messed with. So we generally do not backport features, and I don't think PFS warrants an exception. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for the policy. Your route is simple: if you want a new feature, use a newer release, or sponsor the backport work yourselves and use a third party maintained backport or PPA.
