looking for mpm-perchild info

I apologize if this is the wrong forum. I saw in the documentation that the perchild mpm development has ceased. I have looked on apache.org for info but did not find anything. I am curious if anyone in here can tell me where else I might look for information on why it stopped, as I would like to investigate the possibility of giving it another go at life.

"metux"... That's the name I keep forgetting.

But you might note that your website is not very useful since the download
link is broken.

You might want to try metux MPM instead; it provides similar functionality
and works all right: http://www.metux.de/mpm/

According to the docs, it looks like it became too broke to fix.

	http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/perchild.html

	This module is not functional.  Development of this module is
	not complete and is not currently active.  Do not use perchild
	unless you are a programmer willing to help fix it.     

And maybe the programmers feel that a CGI/suexec combo is a good enough
replacement for the perchild MPM.  I dunno.

The only info you'll find will be in the archives to this list.

Its development stopped, I believe, because the only person working on it
seriously -- Ryan Bloom -- decided to do other things.

Some other people have been working on a similar project called something
like mpmmux.  But they have been pretty quiet lately too.
