Yeah, I'm with Bill. I note you listed this as the 'contingency plan'
for the feature:
Contingency Plan
Create libjpeg-turbo-compat and libjpeg-turbo-compat-devel libraries
with jpeg6 API/ABI and ship them in distro.
I'd suggest you should just make it a plan from the start to have the
-compat library available as part of the feature (so, really, just drop
step 4 of 'scope'), and have the 'contingency plan' be 'abandon ship
and
go back to building with the jpeg6 API'.
I agree with this plan and modified the feature page appropriately.
Regards, Adam
