We had agreed a long while back to support the current and previous  
major release.

Both with the release of 10.5 and 10.6, Ryan has expressed desire to  
keep support for the older release. As a general rule, we don't  
discourage anyone from making things work on older releases, but  
eventually base/ changes tend to make things not work (or not work  
easily).

Personally, I don't go out of my way to support anything other than  
the current/previous major releases, but am willing to incorporate  
fixes from other people into ports I maintain for older releases.
