Well, I stand by that. The filter API is a bloody mess. Something which
should be simple and elegant has turned into this amazingly complex tangle
of code that is nearly impossible to figure out.

What I think is useful information to people who want PHP+Apache-2.0 is:

a) is PHP not production ready with Apache 2.0 because it was not high enough priority for PHP to be tested?

or

b) is PHP not production ready with Apache 2.0 because Apache 2.0 must be fixed before such a thing is even possible?

I see more comments implying b) than a). As such, it seems that anybody that wants to hack PHP to work better with 2.0 is wasting their time.
