I appreciate your comments about valuing stability. But the reason that Ardour 2.7.1 exists, and JACK 0.116.2 exists, and OS X 10.5.6 exists is that the developers of this software, for the most part, were trying to fix issues that negatively impacted stability. yes, new features were part of the deal too, but i can speak authoritatively when i say that the new versions of Ardour and JACK are MUCH more stable than the old versions you keep running. To give you an idea of the kind of problems in Panther - nobody has ever even succeeded in being able to build Ardour on panther, let alone actually run it. There are many, many important fixes that came out during the Tiger release cycle and now for Leopard. Its true that there were a few backward steps - the famous airport driver fix that trashed the audio stack - but these have been fixed and I very much doubt you will find any hardcore OS X audio users who feel that Panther is in anyway superior to later versions of Leopard or even Tiger.
