@vv221 @Conan_Kudo We learned a lot from sdl12-compat, among the lessons was that it was useful to a much wider audience than we expected--not just hacker hobbyist types, but literally entire Linux distros--and also that waiting years to start it was a massive mistake, because we had to figure out incompatibilities as we worked on it.
For sdl2-compat, whenever we broke compat in SDL3, we had to make a matching commit in the compat library to deal with it.
Smartest thing we ever did.
