That is what I'd like to see (the later.) Every time you test 'is_Prefork' you miss the logic you are testing relative to other MPM's which share the same or similar characteristics. Avoiding threads? That's one query test. Fork or created process? That's another. Although Apache may only distribute 2-8 different MPMs, third parties are already out there creating their own custom MPMs. If we can find some sane way of collecting and advertising the associated features, that would be much more robust than looking for an MPM name.
