And I do actually want to be as close as possible to the release code, but IMHO opnion the merge policy of the fpc team is too strict.
Afaics none of the two issues listed on that wiki page are regressions. I therefore don't think it is unreasonable to not merge changes of which no one knows the overall effects 1 month before the final release, with not even a beta release in between.
We have done such things before (like switching the compiler to executeprocess shortly before a release because dos.exec had 255 char limitations, and then after the release it turned out that in some not that uncommon situations executeprocess didn't work properly) and we learnt from those mistakes, which is the whole reason why we now have a release/merge procedure.
