On principle, I agree - The more choice, the better. However, how many
brain-dead, broken SSI dialects do you want to include? Yes, of
course, you cannot expect to have a major Web server which does not
support PHP. Having CGI, FastCGI, SCGI is also a must. However, adding
support for every crappy extension will make Cherokee become
yet-another-patchy-web-server. Do you want that? :)
