Why not? Are there any plans to fix this?

Is there any reason apache2 is not compiled with apxs support?

So far the only concrete reason I have seen is "some PHP extensions
are not thread safe and would break depending on what MPM module you
use".
The response I have seen to this is "the extensions are not required,
don't include them until they are OK".
My personal opinion is that I would be happy to use apache2-mpm-prefork
to get apache2 to work reliably with PHP (yes, this is a work around,
not a solution).
I have also heard the view that lack of PHP support in Apache2 is
one of the major reasons it isn't very popular.
