Given how long Apple has (probably unwillingly but still) continued to
support Panther, I expect that there will be a similar lag between Leopard
and Housecat or whatever 10.6's going to be called and thus Tiger will
remain in support for a while too.

My OS X fileserver runs Panther for exactly the reason you specify, although
I've got a 7100+G3 doing nothing that will probably get made into a classic
AFP server for the IIgs and 68K systems.
