That's not as big a problem unless the app installs more stuff outside its own bundle/directory on first run. If it's self-contained, then removal is a simple delete of the app bundle/directory. The second alternative is the way to go if we ever want to have uninstall capabilities in the future. A generic uninstaller could use receipt info to figure out what to remove. A generic uninstaller could not "rewind" a post-install or post-upgrade script. Alas, I think we may never see robust uninstall on OS X, because it would require changes from Apple _and_ from all package developers. Actually, it would first require preventing installation by drag and drop. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
