It's seems that the rumors Heather came across are indeed proving 
to be correct.  According to Apple's Eric Schlegel, a man who claims to 
be one of the people responsible for keeping the headers up to date, 
because there are no more advancements being planned for Carbon, the 
Universal Headers will likewise be kept as they are*.

     In other words, I'm guessing that if we FB^3ers are going to be 
able to access whatever cool technologies Apple adds to future updates 
of the OS, Staz and Andy will have to pull yet another rabbit out of 
the hat (something that they are extraordinarily good at doing).

       for telling me about this list, Heather.
