your changes,
Others call this fighting "review" and consider it as important part to
improve software quality.
I'd say there is a continuum between those extremes, and (unfortunately)
from my point of vew, FPC review is sometimes rather close to the former.
FPC has to fit the need of a lot of users so we must be very carefull
what we add and what not. Everything we add and which goes into a
release must be maintained. We cannot easily kill packages if a
maintainer disappears or if the functionality is already in base units.
Unicode support is currently under heavy reconstruction so it's not a
good idea to add new packages for unicode.
Anyway, what I suggest is IMO a good compromise and should satisfy both sides --
Felipe can continue development of his packages unobstucted,
while the quality of FPC will not suffer.
That's why I proposed a branch and that's what branches are for.
For example a TString* class for UTF-8 might even go into classes. But
this needs to be done carefully.
