Is it really sensible to prepare an 1.0 release regarding the FPC 
"powers" seem to intend to follow the Delphi (and MSEGUI) way and define 
"String" as a sequence of 16 bit entities. This seems to require to 
change the LCL interface so that e.g. "Caption" is such a String.

While
Caption := "123";
And similar simple stuff still unmodified can be done by the users, more 
complex programs will need to take the new definition of "String" into 
account.

Thus I feel the users might be frustrated when they first get v1.0, and 
(un)happily port their custom code and a short time later they get v1.2 
and need to do a decent porting again (partly reverting the changes done 
for v1.0, as e.g. "case myString[i]" now works again as expected e.g. 
for German Text received from the GUI via the LCL.
