There was a question on the mod_python list regarding mpcp, which
provides a mod_python handler for cherrypy. Out of curiosity I took a
look at mpcp. Low and behold, they use req.server.register_cleanup to
stop the cherrypy server.
I'm becoming increasingly concerned about dropping
server.register_cleanup. I suspect that we may end up breaking code all
over the place. MODPYTHON-109 could end up being a bigger PITA than it
already is.

How about this as a kludge. Make server.register_cleanup an option
either at compile time or at startup via a PythonOption. (I haven't
looked at the code, but I'm assuming that it is possible).
Forcing people that *really* want to use the cleanup to explicitly turn
it on will at least give them fair warning that it might cause some
ugly problems. Something like this could be used:
PythonOption mod_python.enable_server_cleanup "yes, I did read the docs"
