Maybe FPC needs a fork or something that keeps the original specification, or going the other way an experimental branch? Florian amongst others must be really annoyed with how this is all going and I sympathize with them. 

FPC appears to have group of users who are purists (or something like that), Delphi users, and utilitarians (if that’s accurate a description) that want the language to evolve to meet current trends/demands of the industry, e.g. if there’s a good idea floating around out there I want to use it also.

Going forward how is this going to be resolved?
