10.6 was absolutely not 10.5 recompiled. It was entirely a reliability and bug fix release on top of 10.5.

Poor choice of word on my part/missing "re-written" and that it was reliability/bug fixes/removing PPC stuff was what I was trying to convey.
I know this isn't your point, but it actually seems like PPC got dropped from Snow Leopard at the last minute. Early developer preview disks worked on PowerPC Macs. The stability didn't come from dropping PPC.
