I think you have a wrong idea on what the core list contains. For 90% it is
technical internal discussion of the compiler devels, and of the rest a lot
is about new platforms/targets.

I don't think direction on unicode (or even general) came up since the last
unicode discussions on fpc-devel/pascal.
