That's what documentation is for.  If people are going to switch to
non-default mpms without reading the documentation, they get what is
coming to them.

And by the way, +1 on fixing perchild now.  I think Ryan should feel free
to do anything he wants to improve the mpm, as long as it doesn't involve
major mucking with non-mpm code.  The only thing that could break is
perchild, and perchild is broken anyway.
