Well there have been a couple of fixes there.
I didn't quite understand the vague idea that it is stable. Do you mean we don't know it's stable? It might not be as tested as sapi/apache but I've seen Apache 2 handler in production use on quite a few very heavily loaded sites.
Sure, but I mostly go by the number of open bugs on the handler and filter sapis and how long they stay open. Even seemingly obvious ones with a patch attached stay open for a while:
eg. http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31055
or serious-sounding ones like:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=28460
which go without comment for months.
I am as much to blame as everyone else of course. Similar bugs for the Apache1 sapi get fixed quickly. Until we all take the Apache2 sapis (or perhaps just focus on the handler sapi) more seriously or get outside help from people who will stick around and maintain it I don't think we should start shouting from the rooftops that our Apache2 support is now suddenly super stable. Anecdotal 3rd-party reports aside, we don't know a lot about Apache2 yet.
