I think they will be forced to eventually as Carbon is not Apple's

That's not correct. Almost everything Apple adds to its operating
system is exposed in both APIs. Both Charles Yeomans and I have made
declaring into Objective-C work, but we both faced the same dilemma:
what can you actually accomplish that you couldn't in Carbon? (Hence
the thread:

There are basically very few items that aren't available in both APIs.
There are items that Cocoa users must use the Carbon framework for,
just as there are a few items that Carbon users must write Objective-C
wrappers for.
