I don't think 100% compatibility with OS X 10.8 is nearly as relevant as 'look, 
runs this application on *NIX which only runs on OS X >=10.7'.  No one cares if 
we've implemented 100% of all of the 10.8 Cocoa APIs, they care about the 
particular subset that their application uses.  We may not implement that 
either, but a few case studies are great.  

A few years ago, Bean was good because it required 10.4 and worked on GNUstep 
and looked reasonable with the GNOME and Windows themes.  Now we need something 
new.
