We use FormEncode in MediaCore (www.mediacorecommunity.org) and there are
still many customers using 2.4 (roughly 20%). I plan on supporting 2.4 in
MediaCore for the foreseeable future (2-3 years) though some smaller features
might be 2.6+.

I'll stop supporting Python 2.4 for all libraries I maintain on March 2017
when RHEL 5 goes EOL.

That being said MediaCore uses FormEncode only in simple functionality and we
don't need new FormEncode features so I guess we can stay with 1.2.5 for quite
some time.
