I would generally recommend people do NOT use the <compatible-screens>
feature.  It is there for a very specific purpose (I assume the
documentation will describe this), but for most apps it will cause more harm
than good.  <supports-screens> is still the recommended approach, as it
follows the model of separating screen size from density.  Trying to do
otherwise will lead to fragile applications and new and fun problems for
you.
