First of all, this sounds like a feature request. I can completely agree that I do not want bug reports from people running a perfectly good i386 binary in Rosetta.

And just to broaden my mind a little: Why, other than for testing purposes, would anyone want to run an i386 binary in Rosetta?

My problem is not that I'm afraid that they will run i386 binaries in Rosetta on i386 machines (I don't think that's possible).

I will try to explain better: We currently have a lot of customers with ppc machines, and ppc binaries. Sometime next year they might start buying i386 machines. On their LAN they will now have a mix of ppc and i386 machines, and possibly a mix of ppc and UB/native versions of our applications.

What I want to avoid is that a user with a i386 machine will launch one of our old ppc applications. We will make either UB or native applications available, and I would like to be able to prevent these users from running one of the old ppc builds.
