They have not been dropped at all, they reside in Evolution Data Server
(the evolution-data-server module in gnome CVS).  The old "wombat" has
been split out and renamed.  Note that going forward we hope to provide
binary compatibility for the e-d-s libraries (in another couple of major
releases) but its unlikely we will ever guarantee the corba interfaces
from changing.
