This is simply untrue.  The reason we call it "4x" is that it's aimed
at the entire branch, not just one release along it, and it's by no
means assured that we'll have to commit multiple versions of a single
library along the way.

I certainly don't recall us updating compat3x with every 3.x release
and let's recall our history: You committed the compat3x distribution
to the tree on 4/20/1999, just 2 releases into the 3.x-stable branch.
We subsequently released 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 on that branch and in
all that time you added 3 new libraries, not counting the fortran bits
which you simply forgot at the outset.  I think your kvetching at
Murray is a little overblown here and not very understandable taken in
the historical context of your own actions.
