Banish Universal Binaries!

Universal Binaries where terrific when the Intel
Mac's where fresh on the scene, you know it would be
optimized for either platform your Mac was running,
but now they're just freaking big, bloated, and
unnecessary.
STOP THE MADNESS
STOP THE MADNESS
Intel Mac's now have almost as large an installed
base as PPC Mac's, and by Christmas the Intel Mac's
will be the dominate 'guts' of all Mac's out there in
existence.
Universal Binaries are huge in comparison to platform
specific builds. Please developers, start offering a
PPC build, and an Intel build. Save yourself some
bandwidth by delivering more svelte applications, and
save millions of users the disk space of bloated
Universal Binaries.
