Hmm - it sounds like you're saying not just take away the need for but
preclude the use of.  I assumed that if I'm developing on 10.5, but
still using PyObjC 1.4 to target a 10.4 client that I still need to
use the older approach and include NibClassBuilder.

It sounds like you're saying that building a UI with 10.5+ tools no
longer works with NibClassBuilder at all, so if I need to change the
UI, for the application to continue working on 10.4, I need to edit
the UI using 10.4 tools?  Or will a nib generated with 10.5+ tools
still be usable under PyObjC 1.4 just without the need for
NibClassBuilder?

I made a small test change to an existing nib file while on 10.6 and
it seemed to continue to work, but I didn't test it exhaustively.
Existing nibs built under 10.4 are fine, but obviously they would have
the meta data.
