I don't see anything preventing scripting addition authors from updating

Turning them into apps is not really updating them -- it's, well, turning
them into apps. I can see the pluses (and the minuses), which have been
done
near to death here before.
To update them to OS X scripting additions, according to the developers I'
ve
spoken to, is not yet fully documented. Maybe that's what's holding many
of
them back.
I have free Project Builder source code for both a scripting addition and
an FBA (which, BTW, demonstrates that SA's are about 30x faster than FBA's
on 10.0.x). Developers interested in taking a look and providing feedback
before I release this stuff, please contact me off-list, since this isn't
really on topic here.
