I am going to add compat Tcl/Tk 8.6 packages, because IMHO porting of
the packages to Tcl/Tk 9 will take significant time and maybe some of

changes in the affected packages, at least changing the BuildRequires
to the compat Tcl/Tk versions.
That'S expected. Probably best to document it as a change proposal.
Are there any guidelines/best practice
guides for the compat packages?
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Naming/#multiple
about naming it (i.e. there is no "compat" supposed to be in the name)
I would say:
- package Tk 8 as tk8
- make tk8-devel and tk-devel conflict
- make tk8-devel provide tk-devel, so we can BuildRequire tk-devel < 9
- ensure tk and tk8 are co-installable
(either rename the conflicting files (/usr/bin/wish + manpages)
or move them to another conflicting subpackage (e.g. tk8-wish/tk8-doc)
Similarly with tcl and tcl8. Happy to review/help.

I made some minor changes to the Fedora Change proposal and if there
aren't more comments I will submit it later this week.
What's the preferred naming scheme for the compat packages? It seems
there is no standard and multiple variants in Fedora co-exists. I
personally prefer:
tcl-compat-8 and tk-compat-8 resulting in tcl-compat-8-devel and
tk-compat-8-devel
"compat" should not be there.
See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Naming/#multiple
The name should be tcl8 and tk8 resulting in tcl8-devel and tk8-devel.
