Comment (by kencu):
Of the MacPorts users who still run SnowLeopard, the ports tracker
(imperfect as it is) shows the overwhelming majority use the 64bit
version. I suspect virtually all of them use it to run some working-very-
well legacy PPC software they don't want to give up like I do, not because
of a machine hardware constraint. The rest are probably us, with our VMs,
fixing things :).
The oldest Intel Mac I had that did not support 64 bit was a macmini 1,1,
and I swapped the processor to a much faster 64bit core2 duo in 10
minutes, for $12, while upgrading the hard drive.
SnowLeopard support will go from MP soon enough I suspect, but insisting
on 32-bit SL as the focus helps ensure that day will come sooner than it
otherwise might.
I won't spend any specific cycles on 32-bit-only SnowLeopard any longer,
but it might pick up fixes from universal support.
