How about discussion of the implications of having to build apps

For most Cocoa development, I suspect that there will be very little
to say. Cocoa and its ancestors have run on several platforms in the
past, and there has typically -- as suggested in the keynote -- been
little more to do than simply check the appropriate box.
For those concerned about endian issues, there are already functions
both to discover the endian-ness of the host, and to do appropriate
byte-swapping -- see, for example, NSHostByteOrder,
NSSwapBigDoubleToHost. etc.:

Beyond that, there should be little for developers working at the
level of abstraction of the Cocoa APIs to be concerned about...
