Clarifying patch
The httpd introduction in the Apache HTTP Server section of the “Welcome!” page
contains:
> Performance — event MPM, HTTP/2, content caching, reverse proxy
MPMs are an Apache httpd concept. Someone who does not know httpd won't even
know what “MPM” means, let alone what the event MPM is. As for “event”, it is
also jargon.
“event MPM” now links to a page describing the event MPM, but that page is
fairly complicated and fails to specify that event requires a POSIX(ish) OS,
making its mention potentially misleading.
According to ticket #70069 comment #1, event “was listed intentionally to
address the misinformation that is still floating around that httpd defaults to
perfork[sic]”. I doubt that misinformation is widespread (at least today), but
instead of expecting visitors to read such a page, I recommend to add a FAQ
entry, and replace with a functional description, as the attached patch does.
