[Adium-devl] Looking at Smart Crash Reports redeux

[Christopher Forsythe]

Ok, so in all honesty, do we care about 10.3? We're a user centric  
app with none of the devs using 10.3 as their primary (i.e. only a  
few have 10.3, and only for testing from what I can tell). We're  
going to tell 10.2 users to go to Fire, why can't we do that with  
10.3 users?

If we're not caring about their crash reports, we should just draw  
the line now. The reason the 10.2 experience sucks on Adium is  
because everyone stopped caring about 10.2 basically. If we stop  
caring about something as core as crash reports, we might as well  
drop 10.3 on the whole.

This gives us the ability to use spotlight, core data, and not put in  
silly work arounds for 10.3, along with other things. We can test it  
easier, release it easier, and spend less time rebooting to test. It  
means we shed a certain percentage of users, but it also means we  
shed some problematic things going on with the 10.3 stuff. Everyone  
devotes their time here, everyone does this for free, so why keep it  
around?
