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.



Personally I would like us as the software developer to make the decision as to how far back our software supports, not have it forced upon us with a new version of the dev tools... We only very recently dropped support for OS9 and in fact in Japan, where there are many more OS 9 users still active we still support it.


I would love to only develop for the latest and greatest, but that simply is not a market reality for us.

The fact that we support 10.2.8 is driven by customer demand, and in fact is a competitive advantage.
