I've only evaluated plans based on what other people have told me about unison but I believe the problem was that we do end up wanting a compat package (and also a forward compat package) for just about all unison releases. Since unison won't make wire-compatibility guarantees, if you have unison-1 on latest Debian stable, unison-2 on Ubuntu, unison-3 on Fedora-14, unison-4 on Fedora-15, etc, someone wants to be able to manage files between some combination of any of these. So you need to have compat packages that can make that possible. -Toshio
