we need real numbers. And we should keep in mind that Apple has a different philosophy and cut older systems more rigorous. We have to take this into account and the update on new core APIs was overdue. The risk to run into real and bigger problems is very high. If volunteers are interested to help here we can and will help but we will focus on the mainstream and with supporting the last 3 versions I believe we address most of the users. Sorry if this sounds to harsh for you but we have to prioritize our work and nobody should expect that we do all the work. And believe me we don't drop an older version easy and we would prefer to support as many as possible but sometimes the given constraints are different. And whatever reasons are there that don't allow a free update to a newer system, these users should think if this platform is the right one for them. Well this is just my personal opinion.
