Up until 3 minutes ago, I was fairly clear on the role of the Android
Compatibility Library (ACL) -- it was to provide backwards-compatible
clones of stuff that exist "for realz" only in newer versions of
Android.

However, Roman Nurik just tweeted:

"ViewPager and PagerAdapter are in the Compatibility Package r3 as
part of the Android 3.2 SDK release"

pointing to:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/compatibility-library.html

ViewPager, PagerAdapter, and kin are classes *presently unique to the ACL*.

I couch that with "presently" as, for all we know, those classes could
show up in a yet future version of Android, and they were added to the
ACL now because, ummm, they stowed away on the release or something.

Does anyone out there with greater insight into the ACL have a clearer
explanation of its role, in light of these ACL-only classes?

Thanks in advance!
