Actually a Debian developer created a patch to make suexec configurable
but since it was not sent upstream, it is not easily available
everywhere else. Not sure why, but the patch is not even visible in
Debian's patch tracking system:
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/apache2/2.4.7-1

So next step would be to ask the apache maintainer in Fedora whether the
patch would be accepted in Fedora and if not, a separate package needs
to be created.
