True, there's certainly a precedence:

KDE1.* as kde-* and KDE2.* as kde2-*
then
KDE2.* as kde-* and KDE1.* functionality as kde-compat

bash1 as bash and bash2 as bash2
glibc-5* as glibc-compat when we switched over to glibc-6*

It gets a bit messy I admit as to what you'd put as the kick-start line
on each python script, but they've been able to migrate more difficult
hurdles before. Maybe they secretly hate the new python?
