Very informative, thanks. I write software for my daily job on OSX and I get the feeling that if you're not "current" then they don't care. Look at how they handled the recent security update and left all Mavericks users in the lurch by not back-porting the fix. (Does anyone know if they ever did?)

Which vulnerability?

I was under the impression that they are currently updating 10.8 to 10.0 (if it affects all these releases).
