Would be great if it became policy, though, because previously there
has been movement towards packaging alternative library versions into
compat- plus compat-*-devel packages (or not at all):

$ yum info compat\*-devel\*|grep Name
Name       : compat-guichan05-devel
Name       : compat-guile-16-devel
Name       : compat-libosip2-devel
Name       : compat-wxGTK26-devel
