Sorry. All I can really say is that this has been an educating
experience for all of us and will allow us to avoid these mistakes the

how we can actually address this before then, I would most welcome it.
I still don't get it. Why wait for 10.6? The next minor OS or xcode
update would be the right moment. The users don't ask Apple to invent
some grand new scheme or to solve big philosophical problems, only to
release software where one part is not incompatible with another one, and
fix bugs that are trivial to fix.
I've got to second that, especially if the rumors that 10.6 won't run on
PPC is true. I, at least, still do most of my work on a G5 and a
Powerbook G4, and if something in 10.5 is screwed up, I'd like it fixed
rather than pushed to an OS I can't use.
Agreed; I also do most of my work on a PowerMac G5 and PowerBook G4, and
while it's always frustrating to have a machine you paid a lot of money for
fairly recently lose software support, it's much more frustrating to see
support and fixes actively withheld. Waiting until 10.6 for anything that
could (trivially) come out in 10.5.6 is, to me, extra frustrating.
