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.
