Will they? I don't know the answer, but it seems to me that at some stage AS will need to bite the bullet. I'm reminded of this every time I compile my new app, because it has code for converting between the two, and that is now officially deprecated as of Mavericks. The full warning reads:

> /* The use of kCFURLHFSPathStyle is deprecated. The Carbon File Manager, which uses HFS style paths, is deprecated. HFS style paths are unreliable because they can arbitrarily refer to multiple volumes if those volumes have identical volume names. You should instead use kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle wherever possible. */

Now the term deprecated has several shades of meaning, but that sure looks like someone doesn't like HFS paths.
