That is a little more extreme, but attached is a simple change to the
configure.in to print out another warning when anyone uses an
experimental MPM. This is done at the very very end of the configure
process.
Sample Output:
============================================================
WARNING: THE 'leader' MPM IS EXPERIMENTAL
============================================================
The selected MPM might not be fully functional!
Development of this MPM is not complete. Do not use this
MPM unless you are a programmer willing to help fix it.
If you are looking for a stable server, you should not use
the 'leader' MPM until it is moved out of experimental.
============================================================
Anyone against committing the attached patch?
