OS X 10.4 does have its quirks that makes it challenging to get all of the tests to run without a few cornercase failures but, besides the buildbots, I still test regularly with 10.4 and occasionally build there, too. And, FWIW, while top-of-trunk MacPorts may not officially support 10.4, many ports work there just fine including python2.6, 2.7, and 3.1. (3.2 has a build issue that may get fixed in 3.2.1).

Perhaps more importantly, parc-leopard-1 and parc-tiger-1 are two of the very few usually-connected buildbots we have running on big-endian architectures, along with loewis-sun (I think Solaris-10 on SPARC is still big-endian).
