"For development only" note is there because cli server crash means stopped service. If there is watch dog that restart cli server, then it's ok to use with any purpose as long as users don't care for restrictions/stability/security. (For instance, daemon tools by DJB may be used as good watch dog.) I think no one objects making cli server more like full featured web server. Pull requests will be welcomed. Anyway, the original author was made cli server to be used like Mongrel in Ruby. That's the main reason of "for development only" besides the early stage of cli server development. Current manual http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php states "This web server is designed for developmental purposes only, and should not be used in production." at the beginning of the page. It may be too much now. How about make it a note some thing like this? "Note: Build-in web server is intended for web application development. Use in production environment is discouraged."
