Yes, there was a botched and now reverted attempt at enabling LFS, but that's not really relevant here. =) Other than that, I have had an excellent with apache2 so far. > and PHP manual explicitly states [1]: > > Do not use Apache 2.0.x and PHP in a production environment neither on > Unix nor on Windows.

There are plenty of other reasons to use Apache 2 other than the threaded MPMs, and PHP works just fine with the prefork MPM. I think that FAQ entry is somewhat shortsighted and even a bit FUD-ful. > While seemingly innocent, this change may have some "interesting" > consequences.

No, it would not be removed unexpectedly -- the user would have to say OK after being told very clearly that apache2-mpm-worker was to be removed. If a user has that MPM installed, this should be a clear indicator to them that they should not proceed with the installation of this package, as it is simply not compatible. The only way they could use Apache 2 with your package is to switch to the prefork MPM, which is exactly what APT would offer to do. =) Cheers, nate -- Nathaniel W.
