If you go strictly by the "current and immediately previous OS release" policy, I suppose it does. However, there's no need for us to go deliberately breaking PowerPC or Leopard or Tiger support. If we can maintain support for those platforms without too much problem, it would be nice of us to continue to do so. I think there are still a few people using PowerPC machines.
