They generally remain available. However, versions prior to 2.2.2 had
to be removed because they contained code that may have been copied
(or at least heavily based) on code from the Delphi or Kylix RTL.

The internal representation of real numbers has never been changed in
FPC. FPC's "real" type is different from the emulated 6 byte "real"
type in Turbo Pascal, but it always has been different.
