I've given some thoughts about maintaining a Genshi-compatibility layer,

Do I understand that correctly? You want to replace the template engine
with an incompatible new one and instead of operating these two in
parallel for at least one majore release, you want to drop the old one
immediatelly?
That will give a clear signal to the plugin developers, as well as
giving them enough time to adapt before 1.4.
Yes - it gives a clear signal: That you don't care about other peoples work.
Usually plugins are developed to solve a certain problem, not to rewrite
the same code again and again when someone decides that a fancy new
library is again better than the last one. Genshi also was so much better
than the previous one.
Compatibility is not a nuisance, it's required for acceptance.
