I would not completely agree with you on this. When you install the 
developer tools on osx 10.5 it installs SDKs for 10.5 and 10.4 as 
default, but you can also choose to install support for older versions. 
I'm not sure if it's only for 10.3 or also for 10.2.

Then what about Carbon, Classic (don't know if this is still available) 
and Rosetta, environments and libraries to support older applications.
