Q: when they stop working on additional support, do they leave patches 
available as far as they last fixed them?

Pulling the plug entirely wouldn't be very kind!

Me.

Subject: Re: The end of all OS X Lion support, patches included, is likely 
just weeks away


At the moment, Apple supports Lion, which is two versions back.  But Lion is 
the last version of OS X for many Macs, just as Snow Leopard was previously. 
In other words, it seems to have shifted from supporting one version prior 
to two versions.  Perhaps that's intentional, perhaps not.  Perhaps Apple 
will go back to supporting one version back, in which case it will support 
only Mavericks, or perhaps it will support two versions back, in which case 
it will be supporting Mountain Lion as well, but it will no longer support 
Lion.  Or, perhaps it will give Lion users a bit more time, as it did with 
Snow Leopard, in which case it would be supporting three versions behind. 
Who knows?  There's really no way to read Apple's support policy.  Apple 
doesn't take appeasing security people very seriously, sadly.
