If a new compat level does not change a package, the package can be left on the old compat level. The only problem with this is that it requires people to actually think about whether a new compat level will affect a package, rather than increasing to the new level because it's there and waiting to see if something breaks. But expecting packagers to select a range of compat levels that will work is even more of a burden. So I don't see it helping. -- see shy jo
