Yet the “packages” and “rtl” directories is just that - which by the way 
is part of the FPC project. And that is also where most commits have 
been going - based on the history I queried for the last 4-6 months. And 
then in the “compiler” tree their is the nice natural seams for various 
platforms and cpu types - after all, you guys worked so hard to make FPC 
2.x more modular and maintainable compared to the spaghetti mess of v1.x.

Anyway. I'll keep thinking happy thoughts.
