I think so.
All ROM here are unified : you can flash all of them on your phone

This ROM rocks! I reverted to Lollipop after half year of CM13 due to touch lag. I grew bored of CM12.1 and I decided to flash this, because I always liked the Carbon ROM project. This build is working fine, with little or no errors and it works buttery smooth, fast, with minimal slowdown. The only complaint is battery life but I guess it's the phone's battery accustoming to the firmware as I have it for less than a day. It's a shame that you abandoned it, as it's an excellent CM12.1 and CM13 alternative with both speed and customizations. Games run much faster on Carbon than on Stock, CM12.1 and CM13, and critical functions work perfectly, no wonder it's already labeled stable.

Oh, and I want to report an unusual bug (doesn't fit in the standard tracker format).
The flash script might have an issue, because at the end of the update the last two lines indicated:

unmount of /system failed: no such volume

Success!

XT1072, at the time running cm13.0-20160420-nightly with TWRP 3.0.2-1

I freaked out, thinking that the faulty script ****ed up my system and I was left out with a damaged partition table but then I installed GApps normally with their script writing into /system, I browsed /system's folders with TWRP's file manager and the phone booted into Carbon after reboot. I think your script unmounts /system improperly or it makes a bad unmount call somehow, I don't know recovery scripting and you should fix it (abandoned I know but please fix this. not a major issue but scary).

I didn't make the flash script, it is created automatically when we build a ROM.
I usually don't pay attention to error when flashing as long as it is successful. So will 99% of the end users...
However I don't know why you have this error...

I won't fix it because it is not really annoying and building Carbon takes around 8 to 9 hours on my old computer which I also use in my daily life.
But nothing prevents you from trying to fix it by yourself
