Q: Claims of Rosetta working

A poster on the Macintouch forum writes:

 

'I accidentally installed Rosetta on Lion again on a different machine, MBP8,2.

It again works OK!

The RosettaNonGrata file is the handler-file that prompts 'Launch of "%@" failed: the PowerPC architecture is no longer supported', when a program tries to use Rosetta in Lion; whereas in SL it used to prompt to download Rosetta if it wasn't installed.

Re-installing Rosetta in Lion by adding the SL "translate" binary to the use/libexec/oah folder changes the default Rosetta handler file back to translate from RosettaNonGrata

My 10.7 systems now respond to the Terminal sudo sysctl kern.exec.archhandler.powerpc challenge with

kern.exec.archhandler.powerpc: /usr/libexec/oah/translate

So Rosetta is installed in Lion and is my default PowerPC architecture handler '

 

I don't understand a word of it. Is he deluding himself/trolling/a berk? Or has he found a magic solution?
