So I take it the answer to my implied question -- "I'm wondering if your latest assessment is based on more recent experience or technical insight" -- is no. Thanks.

Actually, NSUserScriptTask (et al) was introduced in 10.8 and promoted as the alternative at WWDC. Indeed, it's the only way for apps in the App Store to run scripts. So perhaps they could just change in the name of, well, keeping up. (And yes, it has its own issues, but in these days of potentially loading frameworks via script, I'm surprised any developers are sticking with running AS any other way for the sake of their own app's stability.)

Thanks for the gratuitous advice. I didn't think we'd quite descended into culture wars.
