Right: it adds overhead without benefit, and there is also a risk of regressions. e.g. in the trunk code it looks like children from ap_register_extra_mpm_process() don't go in the pid table, so the reclaim_one_pid() path to kill them won't work.
IIRC, these are already in the pid table at creation time. ap_register_extra_mpm_process worries about existing processes that are in the slot we want to use, but since they are existing, their pid had already been stored.
