I commend (and thank) Apple for providing these refinements to an older release of Safari (inasmuch as there is still a significant number of Panther users in the market). I'm not a Panther user myself, but as an IT administrator, I do preside over a number of Panther workstations. Of course, there is a limit to how many generations of software a company can continue to maintain, and having multiple forks in the code base can become unwieldy (even with good source code control), but it's good of Apple at least to not pull the plug on one generation behind the current one.

Panther users deserve more than just security updates in the Apple-developed applications they use, and it's good that Apple recognizes and appreciates this.
