Please read my reply again. I was not talking about the downsides of a 
hypothetical "delphi with bugs" mode. I was talking about the downsides 
of changing the FPC/ObjFPC modes. I explained what the downsides would 
be of doing so, even if the collective "us" would have the ability to 
know in advance all of these changes' unintended consequences.
