I don't not mean this in a way that you include experimental features 
that are not yet fully implemented, but more in the case of adding a 
feature which - by accident or whatever - works differently or not at 
all on a different platform (or doesn't even compile there). That's why 
I also mentioned FPC's trunk, because after the merge of cpstrnew the 
Unix platforms where initially more broken than the Windows ones.
