I don't mind, but it sounds like the details of adding compat.el to
core are not yet clear to all, and are still being discussed.  Also,
it sounds like we would need to modify compat.el for every release or
something? if so, this should be in make-tarball.txt.

It might be also a good idea to mention this in the ELisp manual
somewhere.
