I don't understand your reasoning why "separate binaries make more sense." I 
don't recall the previous Pd & Pd-extended ppc / i386 / x86_64 mac builds being 
a major issue. Same for externals which were also built "fat." Most mac apps 
are built as "universal" to cover the various transitions: ppc -> intel, 32 -> 
64 bit, now intel -> arm.

If you are referring to external support, yes most externals need to be 
recompiled as fat x86_64 / arm, then they are good to go for the foreseeable 
future.
