Apparently modwsgi uses subinterpreters because some third-party
packages aren't sufficiently thread-safe - modwsgi can't fix those
packages, so subinterpreters are the next best thing.

This is a weak argument for language design.  Subinterpreters should be
deprecated, the problems with third-party packages found and fixed, and
ultimately subinterpreters ripped out.

If you wish to improve the situation, I suggest you help fix the
problems in the third-party packages.  For example,
http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/IntegrationWithTrac implies trac
is configured with environment variables - clearly not thread-safe.
