One thing to note about this announcement is that they had a similar
statement about CS 2 when 10.5 was released as you can note from below when
10.5 was released.

<quoted from link>
Q. Will Adobe offer technical support for CS3 applications running on
Leopard? What
about for older versions of Adobe’s creative software?
A. Yes, Adobe will support Creative Suite 3 software running under Leopard
according to its
normal policies. Please visit www.adobe.com/support to check the Adobe
knowledgebase for any
issues related to Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5) support, and for detailed
information about our
complimentary and paid support programs. Older Adobe creative software was
not designed
to run on Mac OS X Leopard, so you may experience issues installing and
using the software
for which there are no solutions. Please note that Creative Suite 2 and CS2
applications are
only supported under Adobe’s paid support programs.

Q. Will older versions of Adobe creative software—such as Adobe Creative
Suite 3 or Macromedia® Studio 8
software—support Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6)?
A. Older versions of Adobe creative software were not included in our
testing efforts. While older Adobe and
Macromedia applications may install and run on Mac OS X Snow Leopard
(v10.6), they were designed, tested,
and released to the public several years before this new operating system
became available. You may therefore
experience a variety of installation, stability, and reliability issues for
which there is no resolution. Older versions
of our creative software will not be updated to support Mac OS X Snow
Leopard (v10.6).

One thing to note is that I have a few dozen installs of CS2 on a 10.5
computer both PPC and Intel and those people continue to use the apps in
their workflow without issue.
