Making your life easier should NOT be your #1 priority when talking
about a public web server, especially if PHP is involved in any way.
Security should be at least somewhere near the top of the list.

You want to minimize the damage that an attacker can do when (not if)
your Apache+PHP stack gets compromised by yet another PHP vulnerability.
