If the existence of non-zero user demand blocked removal of defunct
technology in Fedora I guess we'd still be shipping SysV init.
We made the switch from forked-httpd + mod_php to threaded-httpd +
php-fpm by default in Fedora 27, so we've spread this transition over
six full release cycles. We've had AFAIK *zero* bug reports about
making the default switch.

I'm not seeing any technical argument in this thread to support keeping
mod_php. If there were, that would be interesting, but otherwise I
think the package owner should be trusted and empowered to make this
change.

If it's dropped, it wouldn't really be possible for me to make a mod_php
package to replace it due to the integration, so I can't really see a way of
keeping a compat package if it's removed, and keeping it around doesn't break
anything.
