For the sites I work on, mod_wsgi is already basically perfect (to the point that I usually don't bother reading the release notes when I upgrade since I've already got everything I need). The only exception would be, yes, X-Sendfile support -- I have a number of apps that need to allow some sort of authenticated file downloads. Over time I've played with mod_xsendfile, lighttpd's mod_secdownload, Perlbal's X-Reproxy-* stuff, and nothing really beats the convenience of X-Sendfile, including mod_python's direct ``req.sendfile`` thing. Yes, the security concerns you mention are a possible concern, especially for folks on shared hosts, and I'd completely understand leaving the feature out because of those concerns -- in my book, security trumps features every day. There's enough other ways of accomplishing the same task that I don't see it as a hugely important feature, but there's no denying that it'd be convenient.
