Feel free to ignore this as I am NOT a MacOS user. I feel that having 2
packages is the more straightforward way to proceed rather than
continuing with the complexity of a universal package even though that
may be "common" on the MacOS platform. My 2 cents, FWIW.

split the macOS installer, all that is needed is to create two new

Any objections?

As rexx.img must be of the same architecture, bitness and endianness
it is not possible to use a single rexx.img for different
architectures, bitnesses and endiannesses.
The present packaging and installation of ooRexx can therefore not
take advantage of universal packages available on macOS (because of
rexx.img) such that we should start to stop producing the universal
macOS version and instead have two different macOS packages created,
one for amd64 and one for arm64.

As rexx.img gets installed into and loaded from the lib directory as
if it was a native library, would it make sense to think of a
universal packaging format for rexx.img which would allow to create a
form of universal rexx.img? E.g. a table that indicates the available
architectures and positions in a rexx.img file such that ooRexx can
pick the appropriate version?
If so, then it would be probably be helpful to allow for universal
user compiled Rexx programs as well, as the same infrastructure could
then be put in place, if not mistaken.
What do you think would such an endeavor be worthwhile at all?
