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.
