It's like an all-or-nothing approach, afaik.  Each module compiled
from then on will also need zts support.

I think it's off by default because third party modules aren't all
necessarily thread safe from the c -> php -> pecl chain.
- this may be outdated FUD at this point, but it's the assumption I've
been working with for the past few years.

In the case of apache24  I highly recommend using mpm_event and
php_fpm instead of mod_php.
