Mac OS X Apple has already announced the successor to Leopard, called Snow Leopard, during the WWDC not too long ago. They explained that Snow Leopard would not focus on user-visible features, but instead would deliver performance improvements and resource footprint reductions. One of the measures Apple has taken is the size reduction of application bundles, which has resulted in dramatic weight loss for a lot of applications. AppleInsider has found out what exactly Apple has been doing to lose that much weight.

What do yo mean unused elements of the library? Which library?

Frameworks are dynamically linked to the executable, they are not added to the executable. So what's your point?

What do you packaging all elements of a library?

Again frameworks are contained in one location /System/Library/Frameworks
there is no packaging or whatsoever. Again, besides its custom frameworks, an application bundle does not contain any other duplication of the system frameworks.
