Our app is huge and complex, and initial testing indicates that it doesn't work 100% OK in Rosetta. We don't want to spend any resources in making it work in Rosetta, or dealing with bug reports from customers using it in Rosetta.

Aren't these both problems on your end? If they don't work in Rosetta because an API changed, then file a bug on Rosetta. If they don't work because of a bug in your code, fix the bug. Don't just go an disable your app based on the return value of kern_sysctl's KERN_CLASSIC (44) or sysctlbynames's return of "hw.optional.mmx" as that's just placing the blame somewhere else and doesn't do anything to help the other developers with this problem (APIs not working in Rosetta).

The end users would not be happy if many apps do this (say, to force an upgrade charge) and apple would not be happy if you needlessly blame them for bugs in your code.
