As far as services go:

They are, but I hear it's a non-trivial implementation, and I've only heard that it's possible from those who attended one of the Carbon kitchens, which I am not one of, so I could be wrong.

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. :)
