Please don't use the dsh apache group for apache-graceful-all then. It makes apache get restarted on machines it shouldn't be running on.
IMO not using an apache publically should be a matter for the load balancer's configuration; relying on a sometimes-apache machine to not have port 80 open at any given moment is a dangerous strategy.
Quite. But we can probably all agree that mistakes and misconfigurations do happen. Better safe than sorry, &c.
Maybe we need 'apaches' and 'mediawiki-installation'. Then a-g-a can use the former and scap the latter.
That might be wise, too.
And so done.
