Not really, they just won't deliver updates for it or Leopard any more

but they have a habit of just not talking about such end-of-line
decisions and just silently not do any updates any more.
AFAIK the strategy on OS side is rather clear: Active support for the
current OS (the minor releases), security support for the last major
release, no support for older stuff.
Thus I currently expect them to drop PPC support this summer, when 10.7
is released.
(Also got a PPC still running around here (7 years old) - works as
nicely as any of todays' netbooks.)
Otherwise they usually perform some creeping death for legacy items:
10.5 last OS on PPC, 10.6 last OS with PPC emulation, 10.7 no PPC
support at all. It was similar with the "classic" environment.
Positively speaking: they like to focus on using the new stuff. ;-)
(New HW, new APIs, ... - makes better/leaner technology and better
sales, as long as users go along with it. You need recent/supported OS X
(10.5+) to support iOS 4 devices - WinXP is still supporting those. Funny?)
Sorry for the off-topic post...
