And typically, a Leopard (OS 10.5) Intel Mac user could still run a Universal binary built for 10.4.
I have a post on this in another thread, but in a nutshell, the issue isn't making a Universal binary for PPC/Intel. That's just a compile time flag. Rather, the issue is that if we have time to test only one flavor of OS/platform combo, I want to test that and release it ASAP. We'll support all 4 combinations eventually -- but given an aggressive dev/test schedule I am curious in which one people want to see first.
