Comment (by kenneth.f.cunningham@…):

 Thanks Ryan. Based on how many times I see your email address on these
 pages, I can appreciate your comments about manpower. Wish I could help
 out more. Perhaps I can learn a bit and be of use. For now -- how would
 you suggest we best handle the situation that recently arose where an
 older version of a port, with no apparent significant bugs, worked fine on
 say Snow Leopard, but a new version (with enhancements) drops Snow Leopard
 support?
