While all this seems to turn out as a major mess, I would like to see "$ZEROBASEDSTRINGS" in fpc, as well.

In fact we should provide as many FPC/Lazarus versions *as* new Delphi versions introduce breaking changes. Some of the changes (from Ansi to Unicode, from VCL to FM, from one- to zero-based strings...) require different RTL/FCL/LCL versions, which cannot be covered in a single FPC/Lazarus version.
In fact FPC already supports zerobasedstrings and FireMonkey is just another GUI framework like VCL, LCL, fpGUI and MSEgui. Additional versions would mean additional maintainence burden and this is something that we could not stem affordably with the current team size... (guess why we only support the last release of FPC...)
