 Replying to [comment:2 erinn]:
 > More detail: The XUL in the x86_64 bundle is actually 48mb. The i386 one
 is 25mb. It might require a heroic effort to get the x86_64 bundles down
 to a one-piece gmailable size, but I will focus on the i386 ones right now
 since they work everywhere.

 I make x86_64 bundles on OSX primarily for people who care about things
 like DEP/ASLR which is only available there. Which seems like a good thing
 to offer to everyone, but I can imagine offering "one big package or this
 other one that you have to reassemble but also has cooler security
 properties and only works on some systems" might be a bit confusing.

 Giving users the option to get a package which they will fail to receive
 is bad for usability. We should narrow the choices to the ones that are
 likely to actually work.
