There is still plenty of time. If you get to it first please cc: debian-apa...@lists.debian.org so that we may comment on the wording. > > either apache2 or mod_php NEWS file.

OK, make that mod_php and php-cgi.

I haven't found any hint that that type is relevant for either lighttpd or nginx.

Except for the "RemoveType php" your suggestion is not very different from what is in mod_php's config already. And I disagree about mime- type versus handler: This is exactly what handlers are for. The fact that mime-types also work is only for backward compatibility. > IF mime.types will really ship no further definitions for PHP AND > if that change is accordingly documented in release-notes/NEWS > file(s) than I think there should be no definitions for PHP in > Apache's default configs at all. Hu? Apache's default config has only minimal php relevant elements (SSLOptions +StdEnvVars, DirectoryIndex index.php). But mod_php should certainly include everything in it config that is necessary to make it work. > But we should perhaps check (how?) whether any other packages have > started to use that mime type (things like nautilus/file/etc.) I can see no reason that other apps may handle it specially and none has complained so far.
