Is there other form shipping this mpm axcept of separate rebuild in this 
case??

I'm completely do not understand - why we do not want provide free 
choose for free users? Why Ubuntu has ITK (and Debian I think too)? 
Moreover, this is the most useful mpm for apache to multi-user 
environment! Perchild is very unstable, suPHP and other cgi-based 
solutions is not alternatives... I'm use it on my servers and do not 
find any critical bug or problems very long time of exploitation.

Futermore current httpd.spec contains 14 patches, without ANY mention of 
  BZ# or link, or description [1]! Is it "good idea"?

And main question - Why I can't do it for thus users who want use it in 
Fedora? Is there any guidelines about it?
