Definitely agree on keeping support for older operating systems in the Portfiles.

That gets my agreement as well. I remember getting Darwinports (as it then was) working on Jaguar by installing Tcl/TkAqua [1] on the iBook that I then had -- that took care of the Tcl 8.4.x features that Darwinports itself required, as Jaguar shipped with Tcl 8.3.x [2]. As long as we continue to provide the other shims like cups- headers and dlcompat, I don't think that there should be much impediment to MacPorts continuing to work on Jaguar, albeit unofficially.

Kind regards,
