This would be my personal preference, as this would relieve other GNUstep Apps/Libraries/Frameworks/... of dealing with the "most recent API change" that Apple comes up with. It might (or actually most likely will) lead to other GNUstep Apps/Libraries/Frameworks/... to break on most recent OS X releases more often, but I believe it is best to resolve these issues when the need arises (i.e. users actually ask for it) rather than when the core libraries happen to support the new OS X behavior. If an App/Library/Framework/... is stable enough, that all it needs to do, is to track OS X, then this project maintainers just set the default and can go through thier tests and fix what ever they need to. But I think that we shouldn't force *all* projects to update to the newest OS X API just to work with the current version of the core libraries.

Cheers,
Dave
