Mainly because I don't trust anyone _other_ than apple to produce code
that will work with future machines (or systems) - I don't want to have 
to stop using a program because I happen to upgrade my machine (happens 
about once a year) and the author decided that quickdraw was too slow for 
his app to run.  If you can afford to ship a new version of your program 
everytime apple releases a new machine that breaks your code, fine.  Patch 
away.  
Having a game break is much less of a problem than having a program
that I need to use to do my work stop working.
