Didn't Apple do something like that before? You know, Universal binaries that contained both PowerPC and Intel within a single fat binary... Double size binaries is nothing compared to the amount of storage you have today.

They did and still do, sometimes even 3 or more archs in the same binary; On OSX: combinations of PPC, x86, x86_64 could be built On iOS: default at the moment is a triple of armv7, armv7s, arm64, I believe. For a while used to be armv6+armv7.

  Support for this dates all the way back to NEXTSTEP which ran on multiple architectures (68K, x86, and IIRC Sparc and/or PA-RISC) back in the 1990s.
