Again, I don't think this saves us from the current need for a NEWS file and release notes entry, but...
I've opened #685340, proposing: a) a single php config file for Apache, that enables the MIME-Types (or handlers) b) but that does _not_ enable (Action and ScriptAlias directives) PHP globally on the server. I think this is unclean and not the best with regards to security. Also not any possible vhost needs the mapping to /cgi-bin/. The goal should be that sysadmins (or package maintainers) set the Action and ScriptAlias directives in their config snippets... But this is definitely something for jessie. Cheers, Chris.
