And if so: do we care enough to burden ourselves with their maintenance? I think you just called me "the devil" ;) Seriously, I can't think of any *real* reason of why anybody would need something other than these SAPIs in 2014 (other than FUD). Things like ISAPI and other more esoteric SAPIs are no brainers, and while mod_php may be a bit more of a leap of faith, it doesn't truly brings any tangible benefits over FastCGI (none that can't be relatively easily replicated in userland anyway, eg htscanner). I'd support it. For what it’s worth I don’t think we should stop supporting mod_php at this point in time. I think there are still plenty of situations where this is the easier, simpler route to go and quite robust. Such as? FastCGI (or fpm) is just as robust, it's a lot more scalable and has mostly just advantages. The main thing mod_php has going for it is history. There are no real technological advances and the rise of PHP on nginx can attest to that. Zeev
