As a long time owner, user and developer of mac software, it is my opinion that
OS X should not be an exclusive goal. In my mind the goals should be 8.6, 9.x
and X. Becuase of some of the underlying issues, there may need to be different
source code bases for X and the "8.6 + 9" releases. It might be possible to have
one binary, but I would not hold my breath on that one.

Agreed. 8.6 should be the minimal objective. Once 8.6 is fully operational and
stable, then it might be worth a peek to see if 8.1 is possible, but not worth
any major effort. I believe that most any system capable of running 8.1 and have
enough memory to do brick rendering, should also be capable of running 8.6.
