Do you mean FC4 or FC5?  This should not go in an FC4 update 
off-by-default since it will break working setups.  Make it 
on-by-default if you want to ship this to FC4 users and off-by-default 
with a big release note for FC5.

What's the difference between httpd_can_network_relay and 
httpd_can_network_connect?

Do we still have the problem that httpd cannot reap idle children 
properly when the latter is set?  That really really does need to work 
by default.
