no need to apologize -- nice to have you back.

the main reason might be that apple is only supportig so many versions with 
updates (seems to be the last two versions before the most recent one), so 
from a security standpoint one should at least run one of those.

especially for us who are building packages for others, an upgrade is 
inevitable.

well described ;-)

it's probably better to switch directly to 10.10 then, as long as it's 
available, and be goot until 10.13?
