As far as services go:

Actually, implementing services from carbon is quite simple. Just
handle a carbon event and pass it some data.

The main reason few carbon apps support it is the API is new with
10.1, and major apps take more than a few months to QA and release.
It is so easy to implement that it should be expected now for all
carbonized apps. You can even implement carbon events partially, from
CFM, and while still using the WNE model. There went all their
excuses. :)
