OpenBSD/separation of priv's
What Theo is after with Monolithic is just the current fad-du-jour;
separation of priv's like recently done in SSH.
Our MPM's are a very cool starting point.

I had to laugh at the 'fad-du-jour' comment. This is very old hat with the
IBM OS/390 crowd. They've been doing that since the time the birds and trees
were one with man :-). For some applications (and admins) this is a very big
deal. Rasmus has referred to them as 'extreme high end' users. And yes, the
MPM is a great starting point for providing these types of services in the
HTTP Server (not that we should... it does come at a price.).
