Comment 6 for bug 1488962

I think doing socket based activation properly is non-trivial, as there are people wanting apache to run only on non-standard ports, e.g. when deploying OpenStack services. So having a default setup that causes systemd to listen on port 80, without checking whether the apache config really does want that, would be pretty bad IMHO. Same thing for mod_ssl and port 443. And it looks to me like that is what Fedora does, so please don't just copy that behaviour.

So I would vote for doing the Type=forking solution in Xenial now in order to get the original issue fixed in time for release and develop some sensible native units later.
