The "multiple versions simultaneously" php-fpm package sets itself as the default version.

I recently installed php81-php-fpm in order to allow users to test the latest version of PHP on a new virtual host. I intended to leave the existing virtual hosts running PHP 7.4. After configuring the virtual host to use the alternate socket location for PHP files, I was surprised to find that every virtual host was now using PHP 8.1. I was able to fix this by commenting out the "SetHandler" line in /etc/httpd/conf.d/php81-php.conf. However, I'm not sure its the best idea to include modifications to the web server config in the "multiple versions simultaneously" versions of the RPMs. I think it would be better to leave that for the "Default/Single version" RPMs only.
Thanks for the report
I understand your explanation (and perhaps your frustration to see a broken configuration)
But package content is designed to work out of the box when you install a single version (base OR SCL)
Changing the packages layout now will break all existing user configurations, and it is like this for years.
So I don't think this can be changed now.
BTW, this is very quickly detected after installation, and in all cases, as soon as you have multiple versions, you MUST configure (per vhost, directory, project...) which version will be used.
No other feedback so closing
