If a temporary tool being retired is the reason you switch, then wait until you find out how many LOC are being deleted from the linux kernel this year and next

It's not a temporary tool for people who need it.

  • The alternative is maintaining backwards compatibility forever and then everyone will complain about some weird behaviour that still happens to retain that compatibility.

    Keep in mind this is the second time they have switched arches and the second round of complaints of Rosetta removal.

    • I think they have a lot more reason to keep it around this time. PowerPC was a dead-end and x86 is most definitely sticking around.
