The public SCF API was introduced in 10.1. IIRC it worked pretty well on 10.1, so there's no SCF-specific reason to require the 10.1.x updates. There are, however, plenty of non-SCF reasons (-:


I should point out that 10.0.x does have a form of SCF, it's just an old form that doesn't support the current public API. So you could write code to work on 10.0.x; you just have to dig the headers out of Darwin. However, you shouldn't do that because...

It should be fine to specify a minimum OS at 10.1.4 because that upgrade

The last URL is kinda fun. By these statistics it's 9 times more important to support 10.0 Public Beta than it is to support 10.0.x.

These statistics correlate pretty closely with the information I've seen from other sources, such as software update statistics collected by various developers.
