Yeah, I filed a radar on this a while back.
It used to say "PowerPC" and "Intel," and then Universal Apps became
yesterday's news and 64-bit apps became the Cool New Thing. But still,
the number of people who need a 64-bit app are very few, and the number
of people who need a universal app are about 90%. So it really wasn't a
good change.
