Ah yes, besides what I said then, this is the real reason. Making it 10.6/7 is programmer candy. Since the people working on this have other things to do, allowing Letters to be an outlet for experimentation with new technology helps keep them interested. Play with the latest and great and don't worry about the annoying bugs of the previous OS[1]. In addition to that, making it 10.6 is another insurance that we ship it. It's not just for the kicks. As Steven mentioned, there are new tools on the new system that make most programming easier, and some new ideas possible. I'm sad it won't run on my iBook. But I would never take the time to backport it.
