Well, the two versions are parallel installable, but cannot be used from a
single binary. I see a similarity with gtk2/gtk3/gtk4, or enchant/enchant2. You
still want to allow build against libsoup2 - I understood the compat packages
are only for runtime, at least mostly/usually.

I can be wrong, of course.

There is a slow ongoing effort to port applications (and their dependencies) to
libsoup3 [1], but no hurry on that side. It's tricky, because the dependencies
can be indirect (your dependency can use libsoup3, but a library it uses, which
uses another library, is not ported or built to libsoup3). Once *all* the
applications and libraries are ported the libsoup2 will eventually be removed
from the Fedora, but that too far in the future at the moment.

Michael (CC'ed) might have some more insight on the effort of getting libsoup3
into Fedora.
