The compat-libgpod package is only generated for FC6 and isn't part of
the F7/devel branch.  I did the review on the devel branch only, as it
seemed to me that the other branches weren't relevant for the purposes
of the merge.  Is that not the case?

I was the one who submitted the changes to Alex for the compat-libgpod
package in the FC6 spec.  I believe Alex suggested that since it was
going to be short-lived there wasn't too much reason to make it a
separate package.  I'm not sure what the policy or standard practice
is regarding compat- packages.  Pointers and examples would be
welcome, of course, even if it's not totally relevant in this case.

BTW, apologies for not adding a link to the bug in my previous post.
