it is needed for running apache with mpm-module-worker instead of

But apache mpm-prefork starts with php compiled treadsafe apache
mpm-worker doesn't start with php compiled none-treadsafe

You can run PHP with apache2-mpm-worker with mod_fcgid and php5-cgi or
php5-fpm.

This is what Debian Wheezy's README file for php says:

Using PHP 5 with threaded webservers (e.g. apache2-mpm-worker)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

   After much back-and-forth with upstream (and even building our
   packages thread-safe for a while), we're currently admitting defeat
   on that front, and are NOT building any thread-safe versions of PHP
   5 for any webservers. Our recommendation is that, if you need to use
   a threaded webserver, you should use php5-fpm and interface to your
   webserver with FastCGI.



I think Mageia is hurting itself by enabling too experimental features.
Another example is the uas kernel module, of which I saw a complaint
recently in this mailing list. This module is known to be buggy, and
disabled in Debian.

That's what Oden told me yesterday on IRC.

So as current php maintainer I vote against enabling this.
