Should we support them too because it'll let more people use habari? Not trying to be awkward intentionally, but we've got to draw the line somewhere, and mod_rewrite seems like a valid requirement to me. I don't think I've ever had a host where I either didn't have it, or couldn't get it enabled. And most of those I have experience with were cheap £20-50/year hosts, when you get power users that build their own webservers it becomes a non-issue too. And you've always got the chicken and egg problem don't forget, if more software that the average user will use requires something that's basically a non-issue for a host to provide, then more hosts will provide that something out the box (or give you the option to ask for it.)
