Hi Sven,

You raised all the points which I already mentioned to Michael Schnell -
why I think EpikTimer should NOT be in the FCL.

 * FPC has too a slow release cycle
 * No need to burden the FPC team with supporting yet another component
 * It will reduce the possibility for experimentation and easy
   contributions from others.
 * EpikTimer contains more than just a single unit. The other files
   don't belong in FPC. So why fragment the project's source code.

I'm perfectly happy where EpikTimer is now. If anybody wants to use it
in a project, download and use it. If anybody wants to contribute, then
send a pull request or patches.

I also told Michael S. that if he does submit a patch to the FPC team (I
can't stop him), make sure it has a different name, so as not to
conflict with the official EpikTimer component.

Just my 2c worth.

Regards,
  Graeme
