I think there's a high chance Carbon will be "effectively dead" in 6 months
time.  Snow Leopard looms.  (10.6),  Carbon may still exist, but I wouldn't
want to bet any future reliance on it.

It's probably time for a new Cocoa variant of this stuff.

Then again, I have to wonder about Snow Leopard and *any* 32bit
applications...  I didn't go to WWDC and even if I did, I probably couldn't
share that information thanks to Apple's openness.
