I'm also very dissapointed by this also. I had installed the developer beta of Lion on my Mac mini earlier this year, and noticed this right away. I had a feeling that when they released Snow Leopard with no PPC hardware support, total support for PowerPC would be dropped in the future as well. My solution to this was to keep a PowerMac G5 that I had refurbished (And originally planned to sell) and use it to replace my noisy MDD. Since the G5 was the last, best, PPC Mac, I'm gonna hold onto it and use it for running PowerPC applications. I'm also planning on keeping a partition on my Mac mini for Snow Leopard, just for Rosetta. I wouldn't be supprised if someone managed to hack Lion to support Rosetta, but that probably won't happen any time soon.
