For example, it's probable that we'd never have created distribution scripts if we had instead been porting 10.3 functionality back to 10.2. This is obviously frustrating to some developers and users. It's frustrating to me too that we can't please everyone, because I really like our users and developers. :-) But someday 10.4 will be the acceptable baseline. And someday 10.5, etc... So with every release we raise the bar so when that someday comes, developers will have the installer features they need for their products. I don't have the authority to release an exact breakdown of what percentages of our customers are running 10.4 vs 10.3, etc, but it's much more dramatic than most people would estimate. You might want to evaluate whether supporting your product on 10.3 is actually necessary. For example, the Omni Group publishes these statistics gathered from their users: http://update.omnigroup.com/ This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
