I've been using it in production on a site that gets millions of visitors daily and it's just as stable (if not more so) than standard Apache. It'd be nice to have as an option (with the Apache default still as default).
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  Didn't realize you could only select one MPM during compile time. Closing my own bug with "Won't implement".

The problem with these MPMs is that you can only select one at compile time. We would have to offer several apache packages with several MPMs. Unfortunately, the module compatible is just as with kernels: you would have to recompile every apache module specific for every different MPM, especially when there's threaded and non-threaded ones.

ah, I looked briefly at other distros - they seem to have separate packages that apache2 depends on that actually include the mpm.

httpd with mpm-itk is available in the AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16394. As an alternative you can also try mod_ruid: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13414, which accomplishes roughly the same but doesn't use a custom MPM.
