With a global market share of ~10% for OS X as a whole, and only 3.8% of
those using 10.5, that means only 0.38% of the desktop audience would be
affected.
On the flipside, the benefits of Cocoa affect 100% of Mac users.
I think the math is pretty compelling in favor of your proposal to drop
support for that very old version of OS X.
You folks have done a stellar job of supporting older versions of OS X
longer than even Apple. Sometimes you just gotta cut the cord and move on.
Go for it.
