Unfortunately, saying something is trivial doesn't make it so.

Sorry. All I can really say is that this has been an educating

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.
