Basically all of your points under 2 and 3 are the reasons why prefork is no
longer the default. So ... yes. But this isn't a bug. It's just how we
described this module back when it was relevant. Now that it's not, and no
longer the default, the language is understandably dated, and not particula=
rly
worth updating, because we don't *want* people to use it.

Your point in #1, I'm really not clear on why this is a problem. When you u=
se
prefork, you do, indeed, implement a non-threaded pre-forking web server. It
doesn't suggest that the MPM *is* a web server. Merely that when you use it,
you *get* a non-threaded pre-forking web server.

I'm not inclined to spend much time enhancing documentation on features we
discourage people from using.
