I keep seeing comments like this and I don't understand them.  In my
discussions with Apple, the worst that I see is that Carbon isn't
going to be 64 bit.  At no time has anyone said that it's been given
the "axe".  Aside from supposition, does anyone have firm statements
from Apple that Carbon is going away?

I'm seriously confused as how this has become such a hot-button.

Because eventually Mac OS X will be 64 bit only.

Just like how 24 bit addressing was dropped, 68k support was dropped,
PPC601 dropped, etc., etc. One day 32 bit CPUs will be dropped, and at
that time Carbon apps are useless.
