One central part of interest (simplified):

int simple_child_loop(simple_core_t *sc)
{
  simple_setup_workers(sc);
  simple_setup_listeners(sc);
  simple_setup_privs(sc);
  simple_run_loop(sc);
}

For my immediate purposes, I'd like to see simple_setup_privs replaced
by a hook (which is essentially the old child_init hook).  Then add
back in a mod_unixd to get the classic model of *X MPMs, and whatever
is the equivalent on other platforms.

But is there any reason we shouldn't replace *each of* the above
functions with a hook?
