Since the reason tail patches break are ROM patches, why doesn't Apple
rewrite the ROMs (with patches from System file applied), and call it
a free upgrade for EVERYONE...Now my SE will magically have 60-100Kb more
RAM (I forget exactly how big the patches are, see a recent MacTutor article).
Of course, if the ROMs are soldered in, this isn't feasible, but if they're
socketed (like they were at one time), why doesn't Apple do something good
for its users and programmers alike...Won't hit the bottom line that much....
