First and for all. Backwards compat dropping is not going to happen.
It already has and supposedly can't be avoided. Take a look of what Lazarus was forced to make out of the identity of ANSIString and UTF8String seemingly forced by FPC. e.g.:
Old programs assuming local ANSI 8 bit code retrieved from LCL GUI components, compiled with the new version don't work (e.g. if doing myChar := myString[3]; )
Doing My16BitString = 'my constant text containing umlauts as äöü'; provides an erroneous result.
