I wouldn't know; I've never used a Mac in my life.[1]  If they've taken 
to putting everything in the main package instead of splitting it into 
package, devel and (in the case of the kernel) headers, it's a Good 
Thing.  I've run across too many things you're just expected to know 
without explanation[2] in the Linux world and don't see any reason not 
to give hints when they look needed.

[1]I did, however, do Internet tech support for them, strictly from 
cheat-sheets.  When callers found out that I'd never used a Mac they 
were amazed because of the high-quality assistance they'd just gotten.

[2]More than once I've been flamed by some arrogant luser who can't be 
arsed to tell me just which file I need, although it's clear that he knows.
