I'd say there is a continuum between those extremes, and (unfortunately)
from my point of vew, FPC review is sometimes rather close to the former.
I have been burned by this myself.

Anyway, what I suggest is IMO a good compromise and should satisfy both sides --
Felipe can continue development of his packages unobstucted,
while the quality of FPC will not suffer.

I do not really see any downsides -- perhaps there is a section of users
who use FPSpreadsheet and NOT use Lazarus, but I suspect
this section is very small.
