Well, let me just say that the idea of two RTL's is rather ridiculous

It's not different from Delphi, where the introduction of UnicodeString required a renewed RTL, VCL and IDE. Who should do the same for FPC and Lazarus, and tell the users that they either have to stay with an old (frozen) Ansi release, or must upgrade all their code and component libraries to the new strings, RTL and LCL? IMO a typical loose-loose situation :-(

? No, the old RTL will remain maintained. It's the same codebase, just 
recompiled.
