If we require Mac OS >= 10.9 we can as well require Mac OS >= 10.10
and save ourselves some headaches.

I think the only bacward compatibility that would make sense is with Snow 
Leopard
There are users that are stuck with this version because it was the last 
version 
with rosetta and carbon that also ran on PPC.

Other than that I think it is OK to expect a vast majority of Mac users to keep
up with the latest free OS X updates as Apple is pushing quite hard towrds this.

So, IMO, if it is easy to support multiple versions of OSX that is OK, 
otherwise 
if it saves us some effort we could just stick with the latest version.
