I don't know if you make a power PC Mac build, but power PC Mac's can't upgrade past 10.5, and the early Intel Mac's like the PowerMac 1,1 can't upgrade past 10.7 officially. Unofficially it's possible by flashing the bios, using a special boot loader that translates 64-bit bios calls into the 32-bit bios the machine has, and a newer video card but that is totally unsupported by Apple. So no support for 10.5 will leave the PPC Mac folks out and 10.7 will leave the early Intel Mac's out unless they want to do like I did and load Linux on their Mac (which is a huge performance win).
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.
