lol, probably.

I mean, it's entirely possible that either I'm reading too much into this or Apple didn't speak as precisely as they should (or both), but unless I missed something, Apple said Rosetta 2 would work with any old app (not just theirs), so they can't assume too much about how recently it was written or which APIs it uses.

When I was a kid, people who did wrong were punished, restricted, and forbidden. Now, when someone does wrong, all of the rest of us are punished, restricted, and forbidden... and the one who did the wrong is counselled and "understood" and fed ice cream.
