Can I add another that's been mentioned in passing:

4. A mechanism for working with WebSockets. This doesn't actually 
require a different process model (although it would undoubtedly benefit 
from one, in terms of system resources), but does require a new way to 
talk to the web server / network (a new kind of "SAPI"). I can't think 
of a fundamental reason why php-fpm couldn't leave a process running 
that was connected as one end of a web socket, but doing so would be 
pretty useless if there was no API to send and receive data over that 
socket.
