If the existence of non-zero user demand blocked removal of defunct 
technology in Fedora I guess we'd still be shipping SysV init.  

We made the switch from forked-httpd + mod_php to threaded-httpd +
php-fpm by default in Fedora 27, so we've spread this transition over 
six full release cycles.  We've	had AFAIK *zero* bug reports about
making the default switch.

I'm not seeing any technical argument in this thread to support keeping 
mod_php.  If there were, that would be interesting, but otherwise I 
think the package owner should be trusted and empowered to make this 
change.
