Do you mean FC4 or FC5? This should not go in an FC4 update
off-by-default since it will break working setups. Make it
on-by-default if you want to ship this to FC4 users and off-by-default
with a big release note for FC5.
What's the difference between httpd_can_network_relay and
httpd_can_network_connect?
Do we still have the problem that httpd cannot reap idle children
properly when the latter is set? That really really does need to work
by default.
