- it's been deprecated for more than 6 years
While that is strictly true, it actually is quite a bit longer than that. (think Christmas holiday 2003 in trunk, and then definitively with FPC 2.0 in may 2005 when it was no longer needed for bootstrapping)
- it hasn't been automatically build in more than 11 years
- it's i386 only
No one has complained so far that it isn't part of the release, so good riddance!
- it was actually never verified that the port from 1.x to 2.x (fpcoldcall and all that) actually (still?) fully works. Most people since used it only in very limited ways
- and of course the main reason: I don't want to have this discussion around 3.4 again for what would be the (1.9,2.0,2.2,2.4,3.0,3.2,3.4) seventh time.
