Hey Max, I'm planning on maintaining my packages on 10.6, and I think there will only be rare differences between 10.6 and newer releases since most of my packages are libraries. I have rare access to machines newer than 10.6, but I try to test my packages when I can. So please keep my packages in 10.7 and later. I'm happy to receive bug reports about newer platforms, and if I can't fix them, then I'll consider removing them.
