Mmmm ... not that many answers ...

Let me try another question: does the link below correctly state the 
current use and especially future of FPC / Lazarus ?

http://wiki.freepascal.org/Better_Unicode_Support_in_Lazarus

Especially (quotes):
* The goal of FPC project is to create a Delphi compatible UnicodeString 
(UTF-16) based solution.
* If you want to use the new UTF-8 strings in your non LCL programs, add 
LazUTF8 unit in the uses section of the main program file.
* UTF8String becomes useful when eventually there is an UTF-16 FCL.

In addition to the above: how do I know how far FPC trunk is on the 
roadmap as described in the link.
