Are you certain you need 10.2.8 compatibility? Very few users are
still using 10.2 (indeed, so few that Steve Jobs boasted about that
fact at WWDC), so the consequences of dropping 10.2 support will in
most cases be minimal.
I assume that every developer considers this question carefully.
There are cases where we still want to remain 10.2 compatible,
especially with software where the effort to do so is minimal. That
said, we keep QA for 10.2 to an absolute minimum.
Supporting an old and even outdated OS should be a careful
consideration of cost and benefit. However, I believe cases exist
where supporting 10.2 is a reasonable choice.
Certainly. It wasn't my intention to imply otherwise. My point was
really that, if supporting 10.2 is awkward for some reason with Xcode
3 on Leopard, it may change the cost/benefit analysis in favour of
dropping it.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
