Almost! As the OP I will claim the privilege of having the last word...

Yes. I 100% agree with you and this is what I have been doing for my development life with Xcode thus far, and I would like to go on doing that. My point is that this is not possible with Xcode 4 because Apple have chosen not to made older SDKs available with it. Unless someone (from Apple I guess) can tell us that there is a cast iron technical reason that Xcode 4 cannot use the 10.5 SDK then I believe this must be a marketing/support/QA decision by Xcode product management, and I am registering my vote that this was a regrettable decision.

I won't post again on this, promise!
