I've got to say that I have seen quite a few very heavily loaded sites using Apache 2 pre-fork and PHP. Although we have had a few bugs in the past few months in the Apache 2 SAPI I think it's quite stable today, and some of those bugs wouldn't have affected many people. It's definitely getting a lot of testing and many Linux distros are bundling Apache 2 and PHP.
Personally, I think we can drop the experimental from Apache 2 pre-fork+PHP and have a warning about using the other MPMs.
I don't think we have to officially recommend any one version of Apache (we can say it works with both). Personally, I do still prefer Apache 1.3.x but the main reason is because I'm used to it and can't be bothered to move, not because I think Apache 2 is not stable.
The warning and FAQ entry was written quite a while ago. I have updated it now to just talk about threading issues and that people should stick to the prefork MPM, at least on Unix systems.
Thanks. Where is the change made? Do you guys want to post some statement on php.net to clarify things? I think keeping a warm fuzzy relationship with ASF is important and both projects have always been very close and supportive one another.
