Ordinarily, I detest the idea of pulling support for anything as recent as 
just a few years old. But Apple themselves has a habit of ignoring users of 
anything except the latest version, so I would think that mac users would be 
accustomed to the old routine of their OS becoming a deadend the moment a 
new version comes out. So, in this case, I would think that there may 
actually be justification in sticking with 10.5+, if you were to so choose.

But, to be fair, I did stop being a mac user a long time ago (10.2, tabby, 
or ocelot, or kitty-cat, or whatever the hell arbitrary feline name that 
was), so my opinion on this matter probably doesn't count for much. Feel 
free to take it or ignore it as you will.
