No more testing on mac os x 10.1
We've made the cut and 10.1 didn't make it. Going forward, we will no longer be testing Firefox and Thunderbird on Mac OS X 10.1. Beyond just that, the hacks that were keeping Firefox working on that older platform have been removed so Firefox and Thunderbird will no longer run at all on 10.1.
This will simplify our testing matrix considerably and will help us ensure higher quality for the other versions of OS X.
We appreciate the help that those of you still on 10.1 have been contributing and we encourage you all to stay up to date with Firefox and Thunderbird 1.0.x releases until you make that leap to a newer. (I believe that most 10.1 machines can easily support 10.2. I've been multi-booting my old G4 450 powermac with 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and now 10.4 without any problems - though adding a bit more RAM seemed very good for 10.4 performance.)

When you say "no more testing", do you mean "no more testing at all" or "no more testing on the trunk and future branches"? If Firefox 1.0.5 breaks something huge under OS X 10.1, does that means users will have to stick with 1.0.4?

I am not the author, but it obviously does. He clearly said that it was a pack of hacks that kept Firefox compatible with that old MacOS, and that these hacks are being removed now. This obviously leads to the consequence that newer versions of Firefox will no longer run under MacOS 10.1. For that reason, it is not really a matter of testing this time.
