Re: Policy proposal for compatibility packages

[Linus Walleij <triad df lth se>]

I think Brians proposed policy is GOOD, and would like it approved by 
FESCO.

Maintaining and spending endless time on compat-cruft is another thing 
that keep slowing down Debian/Ubuntu and is clearly a threat to Fedoras 
swift release-cycle. Paid support distros like RHEL can do this a lot 
better and have better motivation for.
