== 10.5.9 Sorbet Leopard ==
== Rory Prior, on the ThinkMac blog ==

"Rory Prior, on the ThinkMac blog, criticized the shelf-like Dock along with a number of other changes to the user interface."

Why exactly is this random opinion from a blogger included in the middle of the list of features? It doesn't seem relevant for the section, it seems like it should go in a "Reception" section or something similar... Or just be deleted.

10.5.9 Sorbet Leopard

I've heard of an unofficial version of Mac OS X 10.5 called Sorbet Leopard. Maybe include some info about Sorbet Leopard in the article? (Or maybe create a separate article about that subject?) Blacky the Bre (talk) 16:45, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

A quick Google Search found this page on the Apple wiki on fandom.com, but that's not much of a reliable source, and the references it gives are on Reddit and MacRumors forums, so not exactly reliable sources, either.
I didn't see any official site for it. There seems to be enough talk about it to indicate that it's not just a hoax (i.e., a big troll by multiple contributors), but not much in the way of details. My guess is that, if it exists, it's probably somebody taking a Leopard release, tweaking the open-source parts from the equivalent Darwin release, and releasing that, but that's just a bit of original research (if a quick guess even qualifies as "research") on my part, so there's no chance that I'd put that in an article.
I'm not inclined to say anything about it in the article without reliable sources. Guy Harris (talk) 20:18, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
