I am focused on your phrase 'and the like'.

Other then preferences, what else is keyed off of the bundle identifier?

So, just to be clear, would you generally consider it to be the case 
that a unique bundle identifier is intended to identify a unique 
application and not different versions of the same application?

If this is true, then I could see how some feature of the OS (either 
now or in the future) would depend upon this being true - that a 
bundle identifier identifies a unique application. Is this a valid 
concern?


Thank you.
