The reason you're not supposed to do it that way is that Apache
is supposed to kill the parent first, which will shut down all
the children cleanly. Also, if you wanted to do the graceful
restart (allows the children to finish answering their current
requests before restarting) you have to send a USR1 signal to
the parent. If you did a 'killall -USR1 httpd' it might not
kill the parent first (depending on how long your server has
been up and with respawning of children), which will defeat the
purpose of the USR1 signal.
Eh, anyways, those are your options, chose your poison.
