We are trying to figure out how many users are still using 10.6, and if we can officially drop support for 10.6. Currently, we are trying to support 4 releases of OS X, and requiring at least 10.7 means that we only have to worry about 64-bit julia on the mac.
Please reply to this thread if you think we should keep supporting 10.6. This came up here: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/5329 Unofficially, we will probably still accept small patches that keep 10.6 support alive when built from source. -viral
