But without explanation about the concrete difference or respective advantages of two builds, anyone can't judge which is superior for the official release. Release process hardly finds supporting evidence to decide which builds is appropriate for the official release. If the differences between two builds are very small or unclear, we should have a sole binary for one platform. Two or more quite similar builds make us confused. As to Crashreports feature, told by Schnabel, and the past successful records of official builds, in the case of 3.0.0 rc1 of Mac OS X Intel, Sun build seems to be superior.
