In my opinion we should drop that now. If someone is still using Tiger
on a PowerPC based Mac then they should get Leopard now because it is
the last OS version they will ever get. And if someone is still using
Tiger on Intel, Snow Leopard is cheap enough to make a argument because
of the price more or less invalid. Why else wouldn't you want to upgrade?

We should stick to our support plan which is that the two latest major
Mac OS X releases are supported, namely Leopard and Snow Leopard.
