I don't care about calling it "compat" in particular. In the FESCo meeting, I
independently suggested that it could be named kwin-alt-x11, and that would be
consistent with the other "alternative" descriptions I see in comments here.

Whatever the new name is, I think this would solve most of the unease on both
sides. Plain upgrades will work as the KDE SIG desires, and their continued
Obsoletes still won't affect your new package name. I could even imagine
introducing the same new name as a metapackage in f38/f39 to opt into the
continued X11 support *before* the upgrade.
