I would imagine so, but ultimately it will produce a file, and sooner or later it'll be useful for us to be able to make those files ourselves.

If the SB has an API for that, perhaps the dependency on the IDE wouldn't be the end of the world.

But I can imagine value in being able to use a good packaging model for all sorts of things, like delivering updates to users of my workgoup tools. There are probably a dozen use cases I haven't thought of that others are likely to come up with shortly after a good package format becomes available.

If the packager is a library and the packages are encoded arrays, all sorts of things become very possible very easily.
