Is there a story behind this? Is OSX memory management so fabulous that Director no longer needs this widget (yeah, right), or did it just slip off the end of the list of priorities?

as far as I understand, OSX handles the memory and the applications don't know theirselves how much memory is really available. instead the OS will tell the applications, that there is the maximum of RAM available and care itself how to accomplish it, to give them the amount they request.
so each application 'thinks' there are 2 GB of RAM available, regardless what. the OS cares about how to get this amount to them.
so in a way the memory manager was useless as it always reported: 2 GB of free memory available.
