Yes.

About a year ago, someone who worked for an organization that was
large enough to have an Apple Sales Rep whose job was roughly
"keep that organization happy and buying Macs" asked their Sales
Rep to ask around inside Apple to see if there were plans to
address the Rosetta exception-handling issues.  The answer they
got was that there were no such plans.
