It depends. As Kenjiro already pointed out, they aren't that different, but
some of these differences may produce some headaches. It's not so much about
containers, more about language features like nested types/classes and class
vars (= static members) that earlier versions do not support.
However, after thinking about it for a while now I tend to fully agree with
Jake. First of all, the new Pascal versions offer much more possibilities and
are more up-to-date than older versions. Second, altough I know that Delphi 7
is still widely used (for a number of reasons), it is now 10 years on the
market and it will for sure get not more popular within the next years - quite
the opposite.
I think, we should move forward and get the XE version integrated first ASAP.
Next step could be to add support for earlier and/or other versions, such as D7
and FPC (Free Pascal).

We'll see. One step after another.

No, not really. As Kenjiro already pointed out, they aren't that different.
