Perhaps. But while an underlying goal of Habari may be to extend its reach, it's not at the expense of introducing legacy/throwback technology. We specified PHP5 early on for that reason, and at the time that was seen as a detriment to Habari's reach also. I suspect that the GoPHP5 initiative, where developers simply cut off their own support of PHP4, had a lot to do with PHP5 acceptance across hosts. I would prefer to be driving change, rather than holding onto legacy for the sake of bigger installation counts. I can think of no practical reason - not reach-related - to avoid requiring mod_rewrite.
