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.
