No, as mod_access_compat module can't grant any access when default
access is denied by authz_core (see my previous message).

For upstream, this is a nightmare :

Couldn't rely on mod_access_compat (when some distro are used to not
enable optionnal module)

Couldn't rely on mod_version (the <IfVersion..> work-around for the same
reason

I'm still searching for a good solution I can submit to upstream for
packages I maintained (ok, this is mainly an issue on debian-like distro).
