<div data-evo-paragraph="" style="width: 80ch;">Dear FTP master,</div>

<div data-evo-paragraph="" style="width: 80ch;"> </div>

<div data-evo-paragraph="" style="width: 80ch;">The Free Pascal Compiler packages are including the compiler major version in their name in order to allow our users to keep their old compiler versions while upgrading to the new one. Other compilers, like gcc, use similar naming scheme.</div>

<div data-evo-paragraph="" style="width: 80ch;"> </div>

<div data-evo-paragraph="" style="width: 80ch;">The source package FPC [1] was being hold in NEW for a week. </div>

<div data-evo-paragraph="" style="width: 80ch;">I know that this is a short period compared to many other packages in NEW. However, in the case of FPC, there is normally no changes that require going through NEW. It is only a versioned package name that triggerd this unusual path.</div>

<div data-evo-paragraph="" style="width: 80ch;"> </div>

<div data-evo-paragraph="" style="width: 80ch;">Will it be possible, please, to ask for a derogation in order to accelerate FPC acceptance, taking into account this special case?</div>

<div data-evo-paragraph="" style="width: 80ch;"> </div>

<div data-evo-paragraph="" style="width: 80ch;">Moreover, the current version is only going to experimental, so we have still a chance to break anything related to dependencies.</div>

<div data-evo-paragraph="" style="width: 80ch;"> </div>

<div data-evo-paragraph="" style="width: 80ch;">Thank you very much,</div>
