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...

I've just replaced my 5 year old PowerBook Pro 17 with a brand new
MacBook Pro 17. took a good chunk of my retirement to do so. My worry
is SeaMonkey is going to use the FF4 design. in 2.1 FF4 has killed half
of my extension and even from other software installed plugins no loger
work. But then I've update Acrobat to X and several things that worked
in my Website no longer work when using Mozilla Products. and My
upgraded DreamWeaver doesn't work the same. Everyone is in this stupid
silly kick of removing menus when they don't take up much space and only
come into play when used. FF4 has even removed the status bar. a lot of
my extensions depend upon status bars to work so they are useless.
Getting tired of this changing things just because someone thinks it
looks neat looking it not efficient I am spending a lot more doing stuff
know in DreamWeaver, Acrobat, Word, PowerPoint, FF4 and others. Instead
of upgrading saving me time its causing me to waste more time.
