Dr. Hyperbole, you have a call on line one!   Paging Dr. Hyperbole! ;-)

That's truly an unfounded assertion.  MacPorts has put considerable  
time and effort into supporting Tiger, Leopard and even SnowLeopard  
well in advance of its release.  If you check your calendar, you'll  
also notice that Tiger was released on April 29th, 2005 - just over 4  
years ago - and by the time support for Tiger is eventually dropped,  
which no one (you'll notice) is even *talking* about, MacPorts will  
have faithfully supported those users for 6 years or more.  "Bleeding  
edge?", puh-leeeze!
