I don't know whether this has been requested yet, but I think that there should be a page on the guide where apps that run in rosetta are listed, along with performance rating, and possible UB alternatives.

I think it'd be really helpful.

Sounds good to me. A new Guide page. I was thinking "Rosetta Applications" for the page name, but that's not really descriptive of exactly what you're talking about.

Come up with a name, log in to the Guides, and create it!
