I don't know how originally that was, but given the HIToolbox and Carbon has been evolved quite a bit beyond Mac OS 9 and the various announcements and assertions on stages, even from Steve himself, I don't see Carbon as a "transitional API".

I have another theory here... is Apple Management testing the Carbon water and see how many are drinking it?

I can't see how they would make an announcement (64-bit Carbon) on stage then a year later decided to drop it?  Is it really technically impossible or demanding?
