Why? There is still a huge overlap between 10.4 and 10.6, it's really  
not such a stretch to build an app or support framework for all three  
major versions. In particular for frameworks, and those typically  
should be as versatile as possible.

And quite frankly, I even still require some deprecated methods from  
10.4 even on 10.6, because Apple simply did not give a proper  
replacement (due to serious bugs and shortcomings in the API that  
replaced it).  But that's a different story.
