NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo.

"Apple" has ALWAYS recommended running the latest released OS version
whenever possible, because each release has bug-fixes and functionality
enhancements for all models.  No system version ever "assumes it is running on
a Mac II".  They all know how to check, and do so.  Note: it IS possible to
use the Installer program to customize a boot disk for a particular model,
but in that case, if the boot code noticed that it was on the wrong type of
machine it would present an explanatory alert box, with a Restart button, at
boot time.
