Yes indeed, this is most important. But I fail to see how these moves 
contradict each other.

In any case, this is relevant only for the next major release (so next 
major version of FPC will be e.g. 4.0, not 3.4.0 ).

And yes, this is minor issue/move, but still is IMO important (it is 
always wise to show to the general audience that the project is alive 
and kicking, which is indeed the case for FPC compiler too).

But again, by any means, I do not insist on this. It is just a 
suggestion to consider.
