These are mere words: from my point of view, it is a bug.
All other daemons initiated from a terminal (sendmail, smbd,...), are 
not shown whith a simple 'ps'.

The previous behaviour of apache was different.

There are aplications that start and go to background (daemonize), you 
get the prompt back, but they keep
attached to the terminal, just to send output to it, for example.

I'm just asking for apache going into background and detaching from the 
terminal too...
