Does this mean that if we upgrade to 8.6 we drop support for anything
earlier than 10.5 for _all_ tk apps?  

Or is it only an issue if you want to use the new stuff?  I.e., is it
a flag day or a choice?

If it is a flag day, that raises serious problems for us, we'll probably
have to stay one whatever is the pre-merge.  10.5 is the current release
and it's awfully hard to tell customers they have to upgrade their os
that is only a couple of years old (we support other platforms with 
releases as old as 1996, or 13 years).

Perhaps we're the only commercial vendor left using tk that is always
interested in 8.6.  I would have thought there are others but maybe
not.  Anyway, if it is a flag day let me register my strong vote 
against that idea.
