Yes, I did not quite understand the premise of the original email  
either. If I understood correctly that your goal is to test software  
on multiple versions of OS, but it is too much effort to maintain  
multiple versions of Mac OS X, then I don't understand why it's any  
easier to maintain multiple versions of Darwin.

I have a Power Mac G4 with hard drive partitions for four versions of  
Mac OS X and other than wishing I had more space available on some of  
the partitions I don't have any problems managing them.
