Yeah, mostly because those machines haven't died either. :)  If/when it's 
decided to drop those Xcodes, I'll switch those builds to makefile generator.

They certainly do, as Eric described.  However, just like everyone else, Apple 
often ships regressions in Xcode and it's sometimes vital to be able to use 
older versions.  Similarly, if you want to deploy an app to an older OS, it's 
very useful to be able to build-run-debug on that OS, and since the newest 
Xcodes only run on the newest OSes, one needs an older Xcode to test/debug on 
older OSes.

Cheers,
