The fact that some hard-working people extended the life of an
"obsolete" OS is admirable. But the point was that they (and we) are
the exception to the rule. Most software projects don't care about
anything besides the "big three" (Mac, Win, Lin), at best, and even
then only the latest supported version. Actually a lot of them don't
even care that much! Strategic or political reasons? Who knows, but it
feels really dumb to me.   :-/
