When you do a major upgrade (ie: 6 to 7, or 7 to 8), one of the final
steps recommended is to recompile all ports. The compatX packages are
a stop gap until your transition is complete, and can/should be
removed once all your ports have been updated.

If you choose not to recompile/refectch all your ports, you are faced
with the possibility of library and port dependancy breakages as each
installed port updates to newer and possibly incompatible versions.

Cheers.
