This will make it difficult on open source communities with limited resources to keep pace with Apple's likely internal developer monstrosity. Clearly this annual OS release cycle is Apple's way of trying to sustain habitual upgrades of hardware every few years because it will be easy for Apple to merely say "oh, sorry, Mountain Lion won't run on your 2009 Mac Mini or 2007 Mac Pro tower" etc. Too bad Apple has to do this to otherwise perfectly good hardware (didn't Steve Jobs and company ever see the Pixar movie WALL-E?).
