That's the point ! With 3rd party modules, Apache systematicaly die and you have to retart it again. Then Apache was down for longer than it should, you may not pay attention to it and it is unusable in scripts (for example in monitoring scripts). Ok, you sould customise your Apache installation and fix it, but still.. By the way, `apachectl restart` do a config test to "make sure apache doesn't die", so why not making sure Apache can restart without dying for another predictable reason ?
