This is very true also in other areas. I suggest we drop support for OSX
10.4 and 10.5 for Apache OpenOffice 4.1.

There are some good points for the proposal:
- the latest update of OSX 10.4 was in 2007 and Apple dropped support
for it in May 2011
- the latest update of OSX 10.5 was in 2009 and Apple dropped support
for it in July 2012
- Mozilla stopped releasing for them after FireFox 16
- Google stopped releasing for them after Chrome 22
- Microsoft stopped releasing for them after MSO 2011
- Adobe stopped releasing for them in 2012
- Oracle only provides Java for OSX 10.6 and up
- Adium stopped releasing for them after Adium 1.4.5
- etc.

It sounds reasonable to drop these OSXs for AOO 4.1 and I would second the proposal.
But it's not a good style to drop an OS within a minor update.
What are the big changes in AOO 4.1 compared to 4.0 that we can't support these OSXs any longer?
We should have done that for AOO 4.0.

Olaf
