Relegating threads that are not focussed on improving FPC/Lazarus anymore to
fpc-other is IMHO perfectly fine behaviour.

It's the same patter as elsewhere in this thread. People with rejected
patches, and more often "ideas" how it "should" be tend to discuss
incessantly just to make their point.

But if the majority (if not all) developers already discounted it, the
thread is no longer about improving fpc/lazarus, and thus offtopic on the
main maillists. The fact that FPC even provides room (fpc-other) for such
discussions to continue is IMHO already the contradiction to the fact that
this is about censoring of unwanted ideas.
