Don't worry, Carbon is going to be around for a long time, probably as
long
as Apple continues to support it (which is probably going to be
forever).
Some things will change, such as QuickTime and CoreFoundation moving out
of the Carbon package where they didn't really belong in the first
place, but
for 2.4 I guess we'll have indirection modules in the Carbon package
that
print a warning and then import the real thing, just as we did when
moving all
the Mac modules from toplevel modules to being inside the Carbon
package.
Also, as long as time permits I'll continue to maintain the 2.3.X
releases
for MacOS9.
