I'd originally suggested that the existence of compat-* packages should be rationalized by the maintainer as part of each release cycle. Valid rationale could be (but is certainly not limited to): - Fedora applications which are not yet ported to the new interface - Third party applications which still depend on the old interface (that the maintainer is aware of specifically, not "something might use it someday") ~spot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
