AFAIK it's not historic - it goes right back to 2.0-early-dev in 1999. The MPMs use open_log to open listeners - an entirely different task, and they even comment about "should be a post_config ... but need to come earlier". Wouldn't it make sense in this instance just to migrate everything to post_config? -- Nick Kew
