Kind reminder that Rosetta is being removed.

It isn't; they specifically have said it will be retained. They aren't too specific but I think what they mean is all the Framework and App support for it will be gone. But as far as keeping a lot of self contained games and wine running I think it'll likely continue to work fine.

It isn't being retained in the way it is now. You won't be able to open Intel apps, and won't be able to use x86 CLI items like wine.exe

Some dev support is being retained but you shouldn't consider that "will be retained". It is going away.

I’d really be surprised if they broke codeweavers’ stuff.

Also who cares if the wine exe itself can run as x86? Ideally you want something that resembles windows chpe where the loader is native but works with the translator to bridge translated game code to native sys/lib calls.
