Panther required NewWorld ROM Macs which all happened to have USB so it was an easy demarcation for Apple to make.
The question facing this list is now - what coincides with FireWire? Is is that Apple wants 350MHz or faster G3? That seems rather odd as they could just state, 350MHz G3 or faster required, and they aren't doing that.
My recommendation would be to evaluate what is different between the lowest end supported Tiger systems and those that were supported at the low end under Panther.
If that isn't overly obvious.

I wonder exactly what they mean by this. I know of no one who upgraded their video cards to ones which were "Apple-supplied'. If this statement is absolute, millions of Mac users will be unable to use Tiger.
Panther had the same requirement, I think it's boilerplate.
It's the dropping of pre-firewire machines that WE need to care about.
