Thanks for fixing the break.  As time goes on, active support of 10.4 Tiger becomes less important but having the buildbot there is an inexpensive way to test backward compatibility, issues that might also arise on other platforms.  For 2.7.x and 3.2.x, we still produce 32-bit binary installers that support 10.3 and later systems.  For 3.3.x, the released 32-bit binary installer support now only supports 10.5 and later.  However, the daily DMG building still produces the 10.3 variant for 3.3 and I still occasionally build and test those variants.  I know there are still some users of these older systems out there as I see bug reports about them to other projects (e.g. MacPorts).  If we reach a point where it becomes more difficult to fully support 10.4, we can revisit the question.
