We need to lighten our burden of backwards compatibility code and
libcompat is in the crosshairs.
libcompat pertains to compatibility with FreeBSD-1 and earlier versions
of BSD.
libcompat may or may not disappear in 5-stable, but it is 100%
certain to die in -current as soon as 5-stable has been branched.
Therefore, please as soon as possible eliminate -lcompat use from
your ports.
Thankyou!
