Not everything was done correctly 10 years ago (or first time round). There are many bug reports still being submitted to fix delphi compatibility issues in FPC. They are still being fixed today, so why must writeable typed constants be any different to those bug reports? FPC often implements something that breaks existing code. If the code is being maintained, the developers can simply fix there code. I had to do that for fpGUI Toolkit, so why can't others. Lazarus code also has to be fixed constantly due to FPC changes in behaviour.
