*I* would prefer they push updates to the Installer.app back to 10.3,
especially such crucial ones.
Apple are worse than Microsoft for this crap... far far worse... MS
could have made MSI only work on 2K/XP, but no - it works on 9x as
well.
Apple in the past has revised older installer versions for security
issues, and I imagine that they will in the future.
Note that there are a LOT of interdependencies between the installer
and the OS, because of the way that the OS gets installed (we boot
off the new OS while installing it). So pushing the new installer
features back to older OS versions is a very difficult task, and we
could "never," for example, support installer features that rely on,
say, Spotlight.
But. Please file a bug like this, and tell all your friends to add a
"me too."
