[cosmo-dev] Safari 2

[Mikeal Rogers]

I don't think this adds confusion, I think it basically solves our  
dilemma.

We've always supported the "latest" Safari 2 as updated through the  
operating system. If Tiger users have a Safari upgrade path it's only  
a matter of time before the vast majority are using Safari 3.

+1 to cutting Safari 2 for Safari 3.
