There are a lot of people waiting for it. The issue currently is not
stability, it's compatibility. It does not work with mod_ssl nor
mod_rewrite, and many other critical modules. These are show stoppers to
any wide-spread deployment. nginx and others working in conjunction with
Apache have attempted to fill this role, but they have the same
show-stoppers as Event MPM, and when you implement their work-arounds, you
end up worse off than using straight pre-fork. Other options use fast cgi,
which is dog slow compared to CLI. A compatible Event MPM is sorely needed.

Unless I'm completely missing something, a statement about input
filters has nothing to do with compatibility with mod_rewrite.

it does work with mod_ssl now.
AFAIK it does work with mod_rewrite too, unless there is some issue I
don't know about.
