Package: apache2-mpm-worker Severity: minor The current apache2-mpm-worker description is misleading. It mentions that it "It is considerably faster than the traditional model, but has not currently received as much testing." This certainly used to be the case, but no longer accurately reflects the state of mpm_worker. The [1]MPM worker documentation no longer contains any warning regarding the stability of this module, and the [2]Apache Performance Tuning page says that:
"Worker generally is a good choice for high-traffic servers because it has a smaller memory footprint than the prefork MPM." The Debian package description should be updated to reflect the current state of worker. Further, it should make Apache's recommendation that worker be used for high-traffic servers &cetera. This would allow the user to make an educated selection without having to consult Apache's documentation themselves.
