Is there a reason why these compat packages are done "the wrong way round"?
They were requested with exceptions to the review process, but that
exception only applies to requesting versioned compat packages for the
*old* version, not the other way round ...
Sure, there's a good reason! I wanted to keep the same pattern as gtk has, so that there's gtk3 and matching gtkmm3.0, and gtk4 and matching gtkmm4.0.
They are all long-lived parallel installable packages and most stuff is going to be using the "old" gtkmm3.0 still for a number of years to come.
Doing it this way also makes it much easier to add the new packages to F34 where I don't want to be undertaking large package renaming.
Shouldn't we rethink how we provide such packages? I am thinking about something like providing the compat packages as a subpackages of the original package?
