My point was I can't take advantage of new features in Package Maker

to get flat installer packages? Apple doesn't seem to have the same
trouble upgrading iTunes and Quicktime for Tiger. Is Installer
implemented in the kernel or something?
Whether or not the "new features" are vital enough to worry about
whether or not you'll be able to take advantage of them is arguable as
well. Welcome to the software industry.
I've been in the "software industry" for 20 years. Only Apple (and its
apologists) seem to find that attitude acceptable. Being an Apple-only
developer/consultant, perhaps you don't realize the "software industry"
is far far larger than you think it is.
As a cross-platform developer, I feel compelled to point out where I
think one platform got something wrong that others got right - with the
best interests of the customer in mind.
