But packages and most utils are quite independent, with exception of
the text-mode IDE, as it needs the compiler, and possibly the RTTI
unit.
rtl-objpas contains rtti unit and there is vcl-compat with many
incompat changes.
The rtti unit can be compiled for 3.2.2, it will miss some
functionality, but it will still be available. The only thing it
really relies upon from
trunk is the actual extended rtti info, so people will get limited info.
And function references, custom attributes. Though that might be a
matter of adding ifdefs:
Yes, I know.
In each case, if ever it comes to a split, it will be the packages as a whole,
with some ifdefs to make it compile with whatever is then the release
compiler. So definitely no cherry-picking operation, that seems like a
recipe for disaster to me...
