Absolutely.  Carbon is a patch for transition only, and the OS' supporting
API remains incomplete and will likely never be fixed given Apple's strong
push to kill OS 9 ASAP.

Among other nuances are path issues:  paths are very different in OS X and
OS 9, yet when running in the Classic layer the OS/Rev returns OS X-style
paths. :(
