[rkward-devel] feedback needed: future OS X releases of RKWard

hi,

until now, we were able to offer RKWard package bundles for OS X >= 10.7. this 
OS X release is no longer supported by apple and we have to upgrade our build 
environment. in theory, an upgrade to 10.8 would be possible, but in practice, 
apple's app store doesn't offer upgrades to 10.8 or 10.9 any longer. 

upgrading to 10.10 (yosemite) would be possible, which would also make the 
development easier, since we wouldn't have to care for compatibility with 
several old releases for the time being. but it would also mean that the 
resulting bundles would require the same OS X version (or higher) as a minimum 
requirement. 

according to this source, the market share of yosemite already reached 62% of 
all OS X installations (10.9: 17%; 10.8: 5%):
http://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=10&qpcustomd=0&qpsp=198&qpnp=1&qptimeframe=M

we would like to find out if it would mean too much of a drawback for RKWard 
if future releases would only be available for OS X >= 10.10, which seems like 
our preferred alternative -- what's your opinion on this?
