Will it also remove the need to ship "fat bundles", as we do now?
I mean, will it produce separate packages for each architecture/os or

I tend to prefer the first way, like rpm and deb do.

Wouldn't PackageKit be a perfect match for this?

It's an amazing piece of work, Aleksey!!

Considering that you're tackling on the hardest problem in the Sugar

amount of time.
