On sympa.org, there is a warning against using fastcgi in apache. Is this warning still valid?

SECURITY WARNINIG

mod_fastci was recently reported to have critical session management issues (at least when used with Sympa).

After logging in the Sympa web interface, users were attributed the identity of other previously logged in people. This could potentially lead to basic users being authenticated as listmaster.

Consequently we strongly discourage you from using mod_fastcgi until further notice.
