I assume that the functionality added to trunk (and as far as I remember
also announced in the list) was finished to the extent that it works and
may be used (although with some possible limitations), otherwise there
would be no sense in adding it to trunk at all. As such, it's as supported
as any other part of FPC (i.e. bug reports and feature requests may be
created, etc.). If it doesn't work and noone can fix it, it might be
removed (as with any other unfinished and not working feature), but I
don't have any information about this. Could we focus the discussion to
real problems, if necessary, rather then speculations?

Thanks
