Timeline on C23 adoption in libSystem
Hello, I was wondering about the timeline for C23 library features being added to libSystem, specifically the %b printf format specifier for binary output. Currently, printf("%b\n", 42) on macOS just prints b rather than the expected binary representation. This and other C23 library additions would be great to have. Are there plans to include these in an upcoming release? Thank you.

The future of Rosetta
Hello, From what I have heard, macOS will soon phase out Rosetta. I was wondering if Rosetta will still be available to install separately (instead of being preinstalled). I don't use Rosetta to run applications, because all the applications I use are ARM. However, for my YouTube channel, I often use the -arch x86_64 flag with clang. I do this so I can show the result from objdump and teach x86_64 Assembly, while also running the program through Rosetta. This may be a very niche use case, however I was still curious. Thank you!
