[Simon Wells <swel024@xxxxxxxxx>]

I Think it mainly comes down to, if there is a bug reported on 10.9 do we want to be a) trying to sort out why its an issue when we only have newer systems or b) scrambling around trying to find an older install to be able to test the issue and solve it

Therefore I think its best to at most only support the oldest version that is still supported by apple at the time 5.0 is released (or at least when the RC is released).

It does not stop someone building for an older version of OSX, but if they have issues it is up to them (with the older operating system) to solve them

We had previously discussed using the oldest OS version still getting security updates, which appears to be 10.11.  I could do anything from 10.9 on.
