A solution where everybody wins could be shifting the requirement from
2.4 to 2.7 as of a given release point.

Older machines (I believe RHEL 5.something is the oldest target) can
have Python 2.7 installed, and nobody should be building out new servers
with RHEL 5 on them anymore. Possibly a discussion the Ansible mailing
list have had many many times before though, maybe we'll see a different
attitude under Red Hat's leadership.
