Well, you're assuming that these things that looprumors has listed are all there is (and that they are, in fact, true). I think that Apple is likely to give us enough under the hood in 10.3 to make it worth the upgrade, especially if you consider the fact that the purchase price of 10.3 also includes all of the 'free' updates that follow it, until you reach the next paid update, presumably 10.4. Now, if you only want it all at once, then wait until just before 10.4 comes out, and get 10.3, then you can get all of the 'free' updates at the same time.
(For the record, although I'm one who doesn't like to pay for things when I don't have to, it is amazing to me to think about the number of man-hours of work that must go into, for example, 10.2, 10.2.1, 10.2.2, and so on, and people expect this to be free. I wouldn't be too surprised to learn that Apple actually lost money on the OS, in general, and the cost that we have to pay is really meant to just minimize that loss.)
