hi-
VVI stopped releasing for PPC when SL came out, but still have persistent stores between PPC and Intel and have Leopard/ PPC implementations.
If your server side has binary persistent stores then you might consider not releasing on PPC because you may be beholden to supporting persistent stores between platforms for a long time (forever?). Many times server side uses db stores which can be converted to other types of stores, but there is always a concern about that and persistent stores. Our own server code uses binary persistent stores and db stores and the server maintenance is more complex than a desktop app and admins are use to issues like that. ... but the binary persistent stores we have are pretty maintenance free because they are designed to be multi platform.
... all IMHO.
thanks!-
