Yes, that's a big reason in my experience. People tried using PHP with a multithreaded Apache long time ago, got burned, and are now afraid to try it again. I think it's mostly a matter of marketing now. I think it would be a good idea to go with a stable 2.2, and make a strong marketing push to get people to adopt it. -- ModSecurity (http://www.modsecurity.org) [ Open source IDS for Web applications ]
