I can see the messages in the changelogs of Delphi:
"Reason: FPC compatibility"
There is a risk of an endless loop here, or a deadlock of some sort 8-)
Good news: the new Firemonkey framework is already 100% compatible with
Freepascal by design.

(Michael Swindell works for Embarcadero):
"Re FPC, we will be coming out with a Delphi ARM compiler at some point, but we're
appreciative that FPC is available today for ARM/iOS and we were able to leverage to get
FireMonkey to iOS."
So it's just a stopgap solution for them until they have time to build their
own ARM compiler, but the fact that they will ship FPC definitely serves as a
testament to its quality :) Very cool!
