You are right though, that we have other really odd SAPIs in the core, but that is mostly a result of never having figured out how build a sapi module standalone. Most of these really do belong in pecl if we could solve the standalone issue.
Right, but if we didn't solve it - why we have pi3web or webjames (what that is anyway?) and not litespeed? At least litespeed appears on the map. As for user request, I think server's vendor request is a user request, when PHP is concerned - why have PHP API on a server if not to use it? As soon as we have commitment from the support side - and I understand we have it here - I see no problem in having this SAPI.
Of course, figuring out how to do SAPI in PECL is a solution too, but is anybody working on it?
