The latest OS Install packages are designed to use features in the latest Installer. If you try to install them using a version of the Installer older than they are, they may fail in subtle ways.

One might think that people should follow instructions and that Apple shouldn't have to worry about stopping people who ignore the directions from shooting themselves in the feet.

I remember well having problems in the early days of Tiger because my disk had both a Tiger partition and a Panther partition. But when booted to Tiger, double-click on a package would launch Installer on the Panther volume, and much unhappiness ensued. I was trying to do the right thing and was following all the instructions I had. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
