But what's going to happen to the OpenStep/NextStep APIs? If I'm a Mac
developer working on porting a program, Carbon's the greatest thing since
sliced bread (and who did invent that, anyway?) But if I'm creating a
package from scratch, I'd rather work with OpenStep/NextStep.

Is that just going to go away or will there be continued support for that?
