Comment(by jeremyhu@…):

 I wasn't suggesting we force users to adopt +universal... I was just
 making an observation...

 The technical barrier to removing /usr/X11/lib/*.la is that those files
 aren't actually part of the OS.  They're shipped with XCode, so even if a
 SU removes them, the user can just reinstall them again by reinstalling
 XCode... =/  There was a huge discussion on this a few months ago on
 xquartz-dev if you want to dig it up, but it essentially comes down to
 there not being a good solution for Leopard becasue even if we do stop
 shippment of the .las in Xcode and force-delete them if they exist in a
 SU, we still have a problem in that all the .las in Macports actually
 refer by filename to the .las in /usr/X11/lib ... so that would break
 existing .las in macports and fink (In fact it was eitehr a fink or
 macports dev at the time that vehemently opposed that as a solution)

 Removing the .la in gtk2 itself wouldn't really fix the problem either
 because it's possible that something else in macports (or fink or gentoo
 or /usr/local or ...) refers to that .la (the same reason why we're not
 removing them in a SU) ...

 The best solution, IMO, is to 'find / -name '*.la' -exec rm {} \;' ... but
 that's not quite an option... /sigh...
