[PYTHONMAC-SIG] Fat distributions or separate cfm68k/ppc distributions?

I lean toward just distributing FAT.  There are tools that I can use to
strip off the piece that I don't need, if I wanted to THIN the application.
I'd rather decrease Jack's work in creating the distribution and save his
time for (much more interesting and valuable) hacking.  Disk space is
cheap, time is expensive.
