>> But which chip they choose is very important and not an easy decision!

Is it all that important?  Especially considering the ease with which
applications are being ported to NeXTstep 486?  And considering their
insanely-great production line that can be reprogrammed in no time?
There's no problem with coming out with a different processor every
year.  Your distributed executables might start to get a little large,
but there would be some utility to keep only the part for your machine
so it wouldn't clog up your hard disk.
