Plug-in 12521 states that Apple no longer supports 10.2 (Jaguar). I
was told that Jaguar will be supported until 2011. What is this
plug-in’s definition of support?
Apple does not communicate openly about EOL for their operating
systems. Based on experience, it seems that Apple only provides
(public) updates for versions N - 1 and N of their operating system
(when was the last 10.2 update ? 10.3 ?).
This means that a typical Mac OS X system running 10.2 is not going to
get any security updates, so we mark at as running an EOL'ed
environment.
(given Apple's stance on security, a lack of security updates for 10.2
really, really does not mean that 10.2 is immune from all the security
issues which have been patched over the years).
