Yes, that will stave off the inevitable for a while but, correct me if
I'm wrong, that support wasn't available for all that long in the scheme
of things. Either way it does give us some breathing room.

Yes, all this is very similar when Apple moved from the PowerPC to Intel, many
many moons ago. In fact, there was a time when you could have *3* versions:
x86 32bit, PowerPC, and x86-64 64bit, all in 1 single bundle/binary.

But what I understand is that Apple lets you compile the code into a
"Universal Binary".
That UB does contain the code for Intel *and* ARM.
It will only install the native version depending on the platform.
Advantage: We only need to provide one package for both systems.
The downside would be the increased size of the downloadable binary.
That said, I don't know how difficult that process will be...
