First, this question would be better suited on "tools" lists such as the xcode one.
Secondly, what kind of space would you be saving? The size of the actual application binary in my app (currently containing only 2 components: 32-bit Intel and 32-bit PPC), is trivial as compared to all the rest of the files in the app bundle (nibs, images, etc.).
Furthermore, it's nice to have all architectures in the app since users can then migrate the app easily to new machines.
