Understood. However, the one big advantage of one codebase is that of lesser 
maintenance burden.

If we start maintaining a Mac-specific installer layout and installer tools, it 
increases our burden. And most likely we'd need to create Linux binary 
packages using build.opensuse.org too, which again adds burden.

So, as much as this would look desirable, it will not leave the paper unless 
someone volunteers to start experimenting with it. Let's see some volunteers 
trying it during the 5.2.x timeframe. If it works fine, we can release it 
officially for 5.3.0.
