It would not change apaches market share. If you are talking about
netcraft (and similar stats): I personally think, "ego" is a bad reason
for constricting people.
We have had a config option in PHP for years to completely hide the fact
that a site is using PHP. I don't think it has hurt us in any way.
Sure, our Netcraft numbers would probably be higher without it and
occasionally we see a dip due to some large site turning it off, but
isn't this all about writing useful software and not about marketing
gimmicks?
