Otherwise it would be retired. Wow, this is a surprising statistic (for me)... OS X 10.5 makes up 29.1% of the MacPorts downloads. Its the largest percentage for the OS group. Confer, http://stats.macports.neverpanic.de/os_statistics#osx_version. Also, according to https://trac.macports.org/ticket/53226#comment:5, the issue affects both PPC and Intel machines. So it affects 100% of the architectures (even though PPC makes up less than 2%). I wonder how many Homebrew or Fink users (et al) have similar statistics.
