Doesn't the v2.8.1GM2 build address OS X 10.2?

I agree that OS X 10.2 is worth supporting, and I think Rev has 
addressed this.  Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, and if so maybe 
someone from RunRev will chime in to tell us when that critical build 
will become available if it isn't already.

As for earlier versions of OS X, it's almost a disservice to the 
customer to encourage them to continue using it.  For all practical 
purposes OS X 10.0 and 10.1 were effectively beta (hats off to whomever 
at Apple had the cajones to ask customers to pay for beta software, and 
the cunning to achieve that; as a shareholder I appreciate such 
exploitation of their customer loyalty <g>).

Even if it hurts a little, installations of OS X prior to 10.2 must be 
upgraded.  Between bugs, performance, usability, and security, there's 
no positive ROI from trying to save the relatively low cost of getting 
the latest.
