Exactly, Devin! LiveCode is just getting back on the educational market
and now they are about to lose it again!

A little historical perspective:
Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" was released in April 2005, nearly 9 years ago. RunRev
only recently announced it is dropping support for Tiger. (In v. 6.6?)
The transition to Intel processors happened in 2006, 8 years ago.
OS X 10.5 was released in October 2007, 6.5 years ago.
Dropping support for 10.5 won't affect me much, if at all, but I do worry about
the many primary and secondary schools, public and private, who still depend on
old hardware. (Richmond, this is your cue.) :)
My recommendation would be for RunRev to commit to maintaining LC 6.6 for at
least another year, and even after that keeping it available for download for
PPC/10.5 users.
So I agree with the prevailing sentiment to drop 10.5 support so we can move
forward with newer technologies, with this caveat.
My .02.
