While something like Rosetta is likely just as much work to pull

this transition for years, and could be expanded to other arches

Not to downplay the power of bundles (especially for things like
localization), the "universal binary" is all part of the underlying
mach-o executable format. "The file format formerly know as fat"
is all about being a container for multiple architectures (and
currently is used to provide support for ppc64 and regular 32 bit
code in a single executable). This is important because it allow
things that aren't in bundles (like command line tools) to be
universal as well... (and to try to bring this back to Cocoa, you
can have foundation based command line tools that are universal).
It is also used in the binary Darwin distribution : the Darwin CD
contains universal binaries with ppc and x86 code, and the same CD
may be used to boot on a mac and a PC.
