Is there a chance to > get it removed on the next release? :-) I'd also like to see that happen, but it has already been filed in bugzilla as a RFE, but got closed as WONTFIX "for the time being". https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=177821 Time to start discussing it again? In my case, I'm using php through fastcgi with lighttpd more and more, with stunning performance where scripts output very big web pages or for websites with lots of static content. On servers configured that way, I'd like to avoid having httpd installed entirely in order to avoid any possible confusion (like doing "service httpd restart" by habit instead of "service lighttpd restart"). Not a strong point, definitely, but still, having apache being mandatory when using php doesn't make that much sense originally.
