The original rumours concerning Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard stated that it would be available only for 64bit Intel processors, leaving PowerPC G4, G5, and early Intel Macs out in the blue. While Steve Jobs' keynote and the preview pages at Apple.com did not speak of any hardware cut-offs, Gizmodo got their hands on a hardware requirements document for the Developer Preview release of Snow Leopard, and it contains bad news for PowerPC users.

They said that they were focusing into polishing 10.6 so that it can become the foundation of the future OS X releases. Excluding PPC of that wouldn't be that strange.
(And notice that "not releasing new versions for PPC" isn't the same than "not supporting the existing OS X PPC versions")
