"company policy" often includes things like "don't switch compiler
versions in the middle of a release cycle".
I can understand why going all the way to 3.0 would be against policy; there are major changes in both Xcode & IB.
But Xcode 2.5 uses the same build of GCC as 2.4 uses. Going from 2.4 to 2.5 doesn't mean switching compilers at all, and the IDE got a *very* minimal update. It's really just the minimum necessary to get the 2.x series to install in a different location and run on Leopard. Other than that, it's identical to 2.4 - it doesn't support Objective-C 2.0 or any of the new Leopard-only APIs, and can't build against the 10.5 SDK, for instance.
Compared to the Tiger->Leopard upgrade that makes it necessary to begin with, the impact of upgrading from Xcode 2.4 to 2.5 is trivial.
