Sure, maybe, but where in the 'Warning' did it say that regular Cocoa 
and carbon apps, that have worked, been updated right along with OSX 
from the beginning, and have resided happily in ~/Applications, would 
all have to be moved to /Applications? And even then, the services 
aren't really 'all there'?

It was a vague warning. When they say it may not work with 
third-party system tweaking utilities,I had no idea they were talking 
about an app like BBEdit. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the 
Apple team didn't compile some of their own software in BBEdit along 
the way. When I read the disclaimer, for the fourth time or so, 
before running the installer through, I was thinking, jeez, i wonder 
if this is gonna muck up Tinker Tool? But an warhorse like BBEdit? 
That was rude.
