+====== Request for Comments: FPM SAPI inclusion ======
+  * Version: 1.0
+  * Date: 2010-03-22
+  * Author: Antony Dovgal <tony.at.daylessday.dot.org>
+  * Status: Under Discussion
+  * First Published at: http://wiki.php.net/rfc/fpm
+This RFC discusses FPM SAPI and its inclusion to the core PHP distribution.
+===== Introduction =====
+FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation with some
+additional features (mostly) useful for heavy-loaded sites.
+These features include:
+  * advanced process management with graceful stop/start;
+  * ability to start workers with different uid/gid/chroot/environment, listening on different ports and using different php.ini (replaces safe_mode);
+  * stdout & stderr logging;
+  * emergency restart in case of accidental opcode cache destruction;
+  * accelerated upload support;
+  * "slowlog" - logging scripts (not just their names, but their PHP backtraces too, using ptrace and similar things to read remote process' execute_data) that are executed unusually slow;
+  * fastcgi_finish_request() - special function to finish request & flush all data while
+continuing to do something time-consuming (video converting, stats processing etc.);
+  * dynamic/static child spawning
+  * basic SAPI status info (similar to Apache mod_status)
+  * XML-based config file which contains configuration for different process pools with different configuration settings (see [[http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3_FPM/sapi/fpm/php-fpm.conf.in?revision=292487&view=markup|this]] for example)
+FPM uses BSD-licensed libevent (this is the only external requirement) to handle connections and manage its children.
+==== Why do we need FPM? ====
+FastCGI becomes more and more popular these days as people tend to realize that 'light' HTTP servers (lighttpd, nginx and the like) are much more efficient on heavy-loaded frontends than traditional Apache.
+The FastCGI implementation in sapi/cgi requires third-party applications like spawn-fcgi or mod_fcgi to manage its processes and is a 'core' implementation of FastCGI protocol lacking a lot of features that are crucial for many complex real-life applications.
+===== Proposal and Patch =====
+FPM is ready to be merged from PHP_5_3_FPM branch in the official PHP SVN.
+All the FPM code is concentrated in sapi/fpm and no additional patches are required.
