We had agreed a long while back to support the current and previous major release.
And then kill Tiger support for next major release, just like it said "Leopard, Tiger and Panther as a legacy platform" earlier ?
Both with the release of 10.5 and 10.6, Ryan has expressed desire to keep support for the older release. As a general rule, we don't discourage anyone from making things work on older releases, but eventually base/ changes tend to make things not work (or not work easily).
Personally, I don't go out of my way to support anything other than the current/previous major releases, but am willing to incorporate fixes from other people into ports I maintain for older releases.
