Well, popularity-wise it has about 0.003% of the web server market.  So 
I wouldn't put too much stock in that.  We also have yet to ever see a 
user request for it.

You are right though, that we have other really odd SAPIs in the core, 
but that is mostly a result of never having figured out how build a sapi 
module standalone.  Most of these really do belong in pecl if we could 
solve the standalone issue.
