Comment (by jake.petroules@…):
> That's an attitude I refuse to condone, and IMVHO it's not a call for
MacPorts to make if and when users should update their hardware or OS.
I also refuse to condone that attitude, but within reason. There is no
reason for MacPorts to deliberately hold back the current version of the
software which introduces new features and capabilities and fixes bugs,
while working on the vast majority of platforms in use, to appease a small
segment of the population running ancient OSes. The 95% should not have to
suffer because the 5% might want support for an obsolete OS, especially
considering that by the time Qt actually drops 10.7 its share will be even
lower. As far as I know, no one here complained when Qt dropped Snow
Leopard, which is a MUCH bigger change than dropping Lion, considering
that SL marked a significant hardware support boundary.
