This is the second time I've seen you make that claim. Can you, by any chance, recall on which occasion he said this (or dig up the exact quote)? AFAIK the plan was always to use the 64 bit transition as an opportunity to shed deprecated APIs, so to imply otherwise in public would have been rather irresponsible.

I don't know about that particular quote, but this has a photo of the WWDC side claiming 64-bit Carbon and Cocoa, so that was definitely the original plan

Hmm, that is plausible. I stand corrected.
