Hi all; sorry I've been incommunicado lately. I'm very busy with research and organizing a conference (Which, thankfully, ended on Monday!).
This is a very, very difficult question for me, as I ramp up to teach my class with RKWard starting in a few weeks. The overwhelming majority of my students are on Macs, as a major focus of our department is web development. I, too, am on the Mac. But. I, personally, have refused to upgrade to 10.10, because of the pain the last few upgrades have been, with no real benefit to any actual, living human beings (e.g., why would I want to answer my phone on my computer?). I guess the upshot is this: It probably makes sense to drop pre-10.10 support, because just about every Mac user dutifully runs his/her entire computer through the chipper-shredder every fall for the newest insult from Cupertino. This fall, we will see most people install 10.11 and relinquish their right to root as well. Such is life. And I guess I will have to upgrade.
