Carbon isn't just the UI stuff if I understand things correctly. Maybe I'm confused. Exactly what does Carbon encompass?

That's a darn good question (and practically the first question we asked when we were informed of this change in plans).

In practice, it looks like Carbon means "the UI portions of HIToolbox". So for 64-bit there will not be a Control Manager, Menu Manager, Window Manager, etc. We are still planning to support the Carbon Event Manager and Text Input Sources, to name two mostly non-UI APIs.

You might wonder, what about the Memory Manager, or the Alias Manager, or the Process Manager, or other lower-level managers? At this time, it looks like most, if not all, of the APIs provided by the ApplicationServices and CoreServices umbrella frameworks will still be available in 64-bit (subject to further changes in plans).
