While something like Rosetta is likely just as much work to pull off, bundles have already provided the bits needed to pull off this transition for years, and could be expanded to other arches in the future with ease.


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.
