I have code I wrote over twenty years ago that still runs on Tiger.

Breaking backwards compatibility is *not* a hallmark of Apple.
Terminating 64-bit Carbon is *not* a hallmark of breaking backwards  
compatibility.

You have a pile of 64-bit Carbon code lying around that doesn't work  
anymore? I didn't think so.

I am pleased that the various completely pointless 64-bit whine fests  
have mostly died out over on Carbon-Dev. I am *not* pleased to see  
them resurrected here.

Amen.
