Does the FPC allow having a single 'compat-vala' Git module, that

I'm ok with that
Such unversioned "compat-packages" would implement "rolling
compatibility", i.e. would not provide "long-term compatibility with a
specific version to end-users", but would only provide a "'one fedora
release cycle' delay to Fedora packagers".
I do not see much sense in this and would prefer such packages to be
banned.
Thanks; in addition, my reviewer came up with an example of an
unversioned compat package (libwbxml-compat), so it looks like there's
also precedent for this.
Well, you can probably find precedences for all kind of packaging
mistakes in Fedora ... ;)
