I'm not one to suggest that there is no current need to support OS9. I can't find any adoption figures but unless OS9-OSX conversion is above 90% (which I doubt) then there are still enough OS9 users out there that developers -- particularly those aimed at lower-end markets such as K-12 -- need to be able to deliver solutions on those boxes.
OTOH, I think it's clear that *everyone* using OS9 on a daily basis now needs to be seriously reconsidering that strategy and, to the extent it's financially feasible, moving to OS X. I mean, Apple has all but announced its demise. It may never die a natural death, but Apple will surely strangle it at some point.
