I would suggest keeping the threaded MPM as default but include a good explanation of
the
problems in the announcement letter. I am not strongly opposed to making the prefork
MPM
the default however. We can get a lot of good feedback on the server either way.
We should definitely make both threaded and prefork binaries available for download for
folks to play with. IMHO...
