As for myself, I'm about 10 minutes away from simply discontinuing the compat* libraries altogether. They're an enormous pain in the butt and nobody who actually uses them seems motivated to also make sure they're done correctly (and I don't use them myself!), making them more harmful than helpful. I thought checking them into the source tree so that anyone could potentially check and fix the buggers would help, but I guess I was wrong. Jordan
