Unfortunately the problem is that when you sell and ship commercial software, shipped software can't look into the future. The real aspect of this issue, that I raised in my initial post, is that third party developers such as ourselves internally reuse various support classes for multiple bundle products, so when the host loads our products this issue surfaces.
And yes, this thread does belong on the objC list and will be moving it there (I didn't realize there was a objC list when I originally posted).
