This is a completely harmless warning, but I agree it is annoying that older versions of the OS are neglected. At least for me, supporting older versions of OSX is hard. Both my system at work and my private system run 10.4 by default, which means I'll have to reboot and leave my normal work environment to work on older versions. Thanks to the age of my machines "older versions" is limited to 10.3.0 or later, neither machine can boot 10.2.
