Description John Arthorne CLA 2011-05-30 11:20:51 EDT 
In bug 317309 we decided to drop Carbon after the 3.7 release. I am opening this bug to track the change to remove it.

Interestingly there are still quite a few downloads, despite having a click-thru that says it is not supported and will soon be removed:

macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz 	686
macosx-cocoa.tar.gz 	484
macosx-carbon.tar.gz 	385

> macosx-cocoa.tar.gz     484
> macosx-carbon.tar.gz     385

I neglected to mention, these are the Mac download stats for 3.7 M7.

This will be among the first bugs I fix for 3.8.  I <3 removing old platforms that consume lots of disk space.
