Making CarbonLib an optional component several years ago would have made it clearer to users that "this is going away"

“Users” don’t know what CarbonLib is. When Apple announced that they weren’t porting CarbonLib, developers knew.

Users would have noticed when Application X stopped working unless they downloaded this thing that the download page for makes very clear will be unsupported in 2 years.

Do you really think any app developer would ask the users to download a dll from the web to make their app work? They would jusr bundle it like installers bundle the Java runtime or Windows apps bundle the compatible version of msvcrt32.dll
