This is indeed correct. However, I have done some things with this
by means of an SNMP module. This is a module (only 1.3) that
allows you to manipulate some values directly without restarts.
The only drawback is that you need to 'patch' the Apache core
in order to get this done.

This SNMP module can be found at

Maybe true, but there are ways around this.
But it is also sad that people think this way.
