What? That's completely bogus. Take a look at how graceful restarts work. We
accept the connection, then we serve it, and only then do we actually shutdown the
thread.
This means that on a lightly-loaded server, if I do a graceful restart, I could
potentially be serving pages using the old config 3 hours later.
What admin do you know that would accept that?

Then the threaded MPM won't work for them. The ASF has long had a history of
releasing code when it is ready, not when people need it. The threaded MPM is
not ready for release.
