This should be the only reason. I think that preventing packagers to do
compat package is wrong.
At least one person who's on my side :-)

In my opinion, instead, packagers should be co-maintaining the main
version when they do a compat package, and that's all.
It's python, it's the holy (Fedora/Red Hat) grail. I think only people
on the Red Hat payroll are allowed to commit to python CVS, isn't it?
:-P Sorry, no offense!
I think the main version packagers should allowed to have commit access
to the compat packages instead. In case compat packager breaks main
version, the main version packager can fix it...
