Because the server doesn't work very well yet. There are issues in the
filter api and you can't really uses a threaded mpm as many of the
3rd-party libraries that are commonly linked into PHP are simply not
threadsafe. The first issue can be fixed, the second issue is handled by
only running Apache2 in prefork mode which makes the server look like
Apache1. If you have to run Apache2 looking like Apache1 the benefits are
minor, so the motivation for people to put a whole lot of effort into
fixing issue #1 is minimal.
