The only thing Carbonite needs and uses is libraries. It uses Ace for many things now as it reduced the amount of code needed, and memory usage.

As an example... When other addons are using and doing the same thing. Why have carbonite attempt to send addon messages to itself, with filters and timers and flood control, and fighting against acecomm which is doing the same thing for several addons at once and Carbonite can use it aswell.

When people talk about problems between carbonite and other addons, it is because carbonite is fairly well used, and people would like other addons to work with rather then against it if you have it installed.

As for the previous authors being quick to update.... I'm not sure which Carbonite you were using but they were not quick to update since wrath's release, and the work they did do was just bandage fixes which is why so much rewriting was needed.

Even you yourself, you use Zygor with Carbonite... and it does not always work correctly, and that's because Zygor tried to make it compatable before I went and changed everything. There is nothing in Carbonite that depends on Zygor, and there is no code in Carbonite that is written specifically for Zygor, but still there has been bugs and you've mentioned them here and on their forums.
