Comment(by blb@…):

 Replying to [comment:10 ultrajoe@…]:
 > (sigh) Fine, then. I'll consider myself desupported, as always, because
 I'm financially unable to upgrade my hardware to '''your'''
 specifications. (Sorry, but I get so sick of this argument.)

 Note that MacPorts itself (from the command line) still supports 10.4,
 it's simply pallet that requires 10.5+.

 Also, you may get sick of it, but this is an all-volunteer open source
 project which has very limited resources and can't easily support
 everyone's system.  We have to make decisions on what to support and how,
 so we could either decide to drop older systems because we don't have the
 people to otherwise support it, or to try and do at best a half-assed job
 and spread ourselves even thinner than we already are.  The latter helps
 nobody.
