I'm far more concerned with the millions of iOS devices that cannot be upgraded and have known security issues.
Yeah I guess that has been Apple's policy for a while, but I reckon that critical security patches hold still covered, at least for Leopard. Especially if Apple moves to this update every year. Within 2 years you could a system has un-patched security holes.

Oh well I guess that we will see how it goes.
