Comment(by blb@…):

 Replying to [comment:8 ultrajoe@…]:
 >  1. Older hardware that isn't supported by the Leopard family ("warm"
 and Snow) are still in use. I'm sure donations of/for newer hardware would
 be accepted, though, especially a top-of-the-line 8 CPU Mac Pro... :)

 Many PowerPC should be able to use 10.5 as well...

 >  1. Tiger is the last to support the Classic environment (see the pun
 now?), which some of us still use.

 True, this is one cause; though you could also keep a small 10.4 partition
 around for classic use only, otherwise use 10.5.

 >  1. MacPorts still comes in a Tiger flavor.

 For now, though the official policy is to support the current shipping OS
 version and one previous, which technically means 10.4 is not on the list
 anymore.
