Not all of Carbon. The parts that apply here are still fully supported. In fact, the File Manager and Alias Manager have been moved into CoreServices. If there's a native API, that's still better than resorting to build scripts in code. There are two many bugs and security exploits out there taking advantage of badly escaped strings in scripts and SQL queries. We really don't want to add to that.
