Yes, we plan to eventually provide 64-bit builds of WASTE.

Right.  I'm aware of this.

We're working on an HIView wrapper for WASTE 3.0 which will
be built into a future release.

For all drawing purposes, yes, Quickdraw is completely gone.
For other purposes, such as region manipulation (still needed
to support legacy APIs such as WEGetHiliteRgn()), Quickdraw
is still used by WASTE 3.0, but that's not a problem, since
region manipulation functions are still available in 64-bit
Carbon.

They want to turn it into a one-way flow that they have entirely
monetized. I look at the collective human mind as a kind of
ecosystem. They want to clear cut it. They want to go into the
rainforest of human thought and mow the thing down.
