I missed that line in the OP. Since my particular machine runs a  
single user and is logged in 24/7, I simply run the Vidalia package as  
a relay and set it to start on login. Since this package is the one I  
imagine the majority of Tor users on OSX will be running, it would be  
nice to see it updated to 2.2.18a/0.2.10. Not to mention that the  
switch to Intel processors was a relatively recent one, as far as  
computer turnover goes, and there are still plenty of users out there  
running PPC machines.

I agree that dropping the expert packages might be a good idea, but I  
don't see a reason that the Vidalia bundles should fall behind.
