We already dropped support for 10.5 long ago - in April 2012.  No
great disturbance in the Force was felt back then, not a single voice
suddenly cried out in terror and was suddenly silenced. (with
apologies to George Lucas)

Regarding the early Intel Mac's - I'm confused about what you wrote.
If they can't upgrade *past* 10.7, then they can upgrade *to* 10.7, no?

And all we're discussing is dropping support for 10.6.
