Following up to my own post for anyone interested in the outcome:

So I believe the statement "FastCGI is now always enabled" is false, because FastCGI is not enabled if you request an Apache SAPI. And I believe the statement that it "can not be disabled" is false, because the --disable-cgi configure argument does disable it. I believe the correct documentation of PHP 5.3's capabilities would be, "The FastCGI module is now built by default, but can be disabled by using --disable-cgi".

Via private mail I was asked to re-post this to the internals list, where I received the response that these statements were meant to be taken with respect to the CGI SAPI, not PHP as a whole. Thus, if you now build the PHP CGI SAPI, you will always get the FastCGI version; you can no longer get the plain-CGI version. However, the restrictions on when you can build the CGI SAPI at all are the same as in previous versions.

P.S: There is a typo on the mailing lists page's description of this list. It says "How to install PHP with partiucular configurations, and servers". That should be "particular" not "partiucular" and the comma should be removed.

This has been corrected.
