Yes, it could, but this list:

https://www.adium.im/sparkle/?year=2014&week=22&graph=bar#osVersion

suggests that 10.9 is the majority, and that 10.8 and 10.7 are only
about 14 percent combined.  I guess a better case could be made for
10.6 (still 16 percent), but I wonder how many 10.6 hold-outs are
updating their homebrew / macports numpies regularly.

Cheers,

Matthew
