We've come to a bit of a crossroads, and I'm not sure how to proceed. As
such, I'm asking for all you, the people who develop with TurboGears, to
help make this decision.

Our current development tree provides support for Kajiki. Kajiki does not
support Python 2.4.

We have three options:
1. Get Kajiki to support Python 2.4. Alessandro already did this, but the
problem is ongoing support. Future updates could drop the support as easily
as it gets added back in.
2. Drop Kajiki support in our code base. From everything I've seen, Kajiki
has better performance than Genshi. I would like to keep Kajiki around as an
option, and maybe (someday) move default development to it instead of Genshi
(but that is a ways off, at least a year, don't worry).
3. Drop Python 2.4 support.

Now, the major problem is RedHat 5.x and CentOS 5.x. They run Python 2.4,
and upgrading the system Python will raise issues with yum. As such, we're
going to see places where people will be deploying on RH% and CentOS5, and
we can't avoid this. The question becomes: Do we support this?

Right now, this is an open-ended question. I have tried to keep my view out
of it. I want to hear other people's responses, so please speak up.
