It is NOT the case that "php-fpm is already used but most users of httpd and nginx without any issue." If the rationale behind this is a maintenance burden, I would be happy to assist with maintaining the package. Many people still use mod_php, in fact it's the standard way to configure PHP with Apache on just about every server that is currently running. Dropping mod_php will break a good chunk of users' existing servers, needlessly. -- John M.
