Officially, MacPorts supports 10.4 and 10.5 (the current OS release,  
and the previous release). That means that maintainers may not choose  
to go to extreme lengths to fix issues on earlier releases.

That said, we also don't want to stand in the way of having things  
continue to work on 10.3; it's up to maintainers to decide how much  
effort to go to in order to do so. Some may want to apply patches for  
10.3, and some may not. The current attitude is to put some effort  
into keeping things running on 10.3, which I think is positive.

But I don't want to edge into a situation where we have, in all cases,  
to continue to support older releases; that would negate the very  
valid reasons that this policy was implemented in the first place.
