If you look at the wording, this was telling Carbon developers they needed to
update to HIViews, Carbon events and nib files. Not telling developers Apple
was committed to Carbon forever.
And this was 15 years ago. A few years later (still over 10 years ago) Apple
deprecated HIToolbox and it was pretty clear that Cocoa was the way forward.
