I certainly agree.  Does the ARB?  Does the community?  I'll submit a patch if so.

There are a few things.

But it's not only a matter of cruft.  Potentially useful API like Core Animation and NSTrackingArea were introduced in 10.5.  It would be much easier for VTK to adopt them if we didn't need a 10.4 case.  ex: It could be interesting for VTK to render into a CALayer instead of an NSView for example.

Do you need 10.4 support?

Thanks,
