We just put (somewhat inconsistently in some cases) our own code that is only needed for "compat" with some "platforms" into compat/*. Well, somewhat/mostly, then "contrib/" is supposed to be third-party imports, but some code in both is 100% ours, some is out-of-tree, some is effectively perma-forked and has no "upstream" anymore etc.
