So I'd definitely like to see some kind of draft policy outlining aspects like: - who will help triage bugs in <package> and make sure they do not target compat-<package> - same with security issues - who will actually test the systems where both <package> and compat-<package> are installed and see if nothing "funny" happens and how to go about testing it I'm fine with having compat packages living a long life, as long they they do not hinder the rest of the project.
